Pull device mapper fixes from Mike Snitzer:

 - Fix DM multipath IO hang regression from 3.15 due to logic bug in
   multipath_busy.  This impacted cable-pull testing and also the
   ability to boot with IPR SCSI on a POWER8 box.

 - Fix possible deadlock with deferred device removal by using a new
   dedicated workqueue rather than using the system workqueue.

 - Fix NULL pointer crash due to race condition in dm-io's wake up code
   for sync_io by using a completion.

 - Update dm-crypt and dm-zero author name following legal name change;
   this is important to Jana so I didn't see any reason to hold it back.
