Pull dm update from Alasdair G Kergon:
 "Miscellaneous device-mapper fixes, cleanups and performance
  improvements.

  Of particular note:
   - Disable broken WRITE SAME support in all targets except linear and
     striped.  Use it when kcopyd is zeroing blocks.
   - Remove several mempools from targets by moving the data into the
     bio's new front_pad area(which dm calls 'per_bio_data').
   - Fix a race in thin provisioning if discards are misused.
   - Prevent userspace from interfering with the ioctl parameters and
     use kmalloc for the data buffer if it's small instead of vmalloc.
   - Throttle some annoying error messages when I/O fails."
