dm request: extend target interface
This patch adds the following target interfaces for request-based dm.
map_rq : for mapping a request
rq_end_io : for finishing a request
busy : for avoiding performance regression from bio-based dm.
Target can tell dm core not to map requests now, and
that may help requests in the block layer queue to be
bigger by I/O merging.
In bio-based dm, this behavior is done by device
drivers managing the block layer queue.
But in request-based dm, dm core has to do that
since dm core manages the block layer queue.
