[dm-devel] [PATCH 1/1] improve the performance of dm-log-userspace

modified workqueue calls on Hayakawa's comments
In the cluster evironment, cluster write has poor performance.
Because userspace_flush has to contact userspace program(cmirrord)
in clear/mark/flush request. But both mark and flush requests
require cmirrord to circle message to all the cluster nodes in each
flush call. This behave is realy slow. So the idea is merging
mark and flush request together to reduce the kernel-userspace-kernel
time. Add a new flag DM_INTEGRATED_FLUSH to tell userspace application
that kernel has a flush with mark_region data. Besides, when only sending
clear request, the flush request could be delayed.
Added a workqueue to run delayed flush request.
