Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - Significant DM thin-provisioning performance improvements to meet
   performance requirements that were requested by the Gluster
   distributed filesystem.

   Specifically, dm-thinp now takes care to aggregate IO that will be
   issued to the same thinp block before issuing IO to the underlying
   devices.  This really helps improve performance on HW RAID6 devices
   that have a writeback cache because it avoids RMW in the HW RAID
   controller.

 - Some stable fixes: fix leak in DM bufio if integrity profiles were
   enabled, use memzero_explicit in DM crypt to avoid any potential for
   information leak, and a DM cache fix to properly mark a cache block
   dirty if it was promoted to the cache via the overwrite optimization.

 - A few simple DM persistent data library fixes

 - DM cache multiqueue policy block promotion improvements.

 - DM cache discard improvements that take advantage of range
   (multiblock) discard support in the DM bio-prison.  This allows for
   much more efficient bulk discard processing (e.g.  when mkfs.xfs
   discards the entire device).

 - Some small optimizations in DM core and RCU deference cleanups

 - DM core changes to suspend/resume code to introduce the new internal
   suspend/resume interface that the DM thin-pool target now uses to
   suspend/resume active thin devices when the thin-pool must
   suspend/resume.

   This avoids forcing userspace to track all active thin volumes in a
   thin-pool when the thin-pool is suspended for the purposes of
   metadata or data space resize.
