[dm-devel] [git pull] device mapper changes for 4.18

[Mike Snitzer]

Hi Linus,

I've based on linux-block because the new dm-writecache target that is
in this pull needed to be updated to use the new bioset_init/mempool_init
interfaces.

The following changes since commit 04c4950d5b373ba712d928592e05e73510785bca:

  block: fixup bioset_integrity_create() call (2018-05-30 18:51:21 -0600)

Please pull, thanks!

----------------------------------------------------------------
- Export 2 swait symbols for use by the new DM writecache target.

- Add DM writecache target that offers writeback caching to persistent
  memory or SSD.

- Small DM core change to give context in error message for why a DM
  table type transition wasn't allowed.
