  dm: flush queued bios when process blocks to avoid deadlock (2017-02-17 00:54:10 -0500)

Please pull, thanks.
Mike

----------------------------------------------------------------
- Fix dm-raid transient device failure processing and other smaller
  tweaks.

- Add journal support to the DM raid target to close the 'write hole' on
  raid 4/5/6.

- Fix dm-cache corruption, due to rounding bug, when cache exceeds 2TB.

- Add 'metadata2' feature to dm-cache to separate the dirty bitset out
  from other cache metadata.  This improves speed of shutting down
  a large cache device (which implies writing out dirty bits).

- Fix a memory leak during dm-stats data structure destruction.

- Fix a DM multipath round-robin path selector performance regression
  that was caused by less precise balancing across all paths.

- Lastly, introduce a DM core fix for a long-standing DM snapshot
  deadlock that is rooted in the complexity of the device stack used in
  conjunction with block core maintaining bios on current->bio_list to
  manage recursion in generic_make_request().  A more comprehensive fix
  to block core (and its hook in the cpu scheduler) would be wonderful
  but this DM-specific fix is pragmatic considering how difficult it has
  been to make progress on a generic fix.
