[dm-devel] [PATCH 23 of 30] DM Exception Store: add arg to prepare_commit

Patch name: dm-exception-store-add-arg-to-prepare_commit.patch

Add the 'group' paramenter to the prepare_exception function.  This
is used to facilitate shared exception stores.  When writing to
a snapshot, an exception is created for only that snapshot (group=0).
When writing to the origin, all snapshots are affected, so rather
than preparing_exceptions for all snapshots one at a time, we can
use the group=1 to indicate that all snapshots managed by the shared
exception store be updated.
