Hi,

I reviewed and staged these changes in dm-5.15 (and for-next) with
minimal tweaks. Really just some whitespace and a simplification of
the conditional for the warning in dm_init().

Please make sure that you manually apply Christoph's fix for the issue
you reported earlier in the week, you were cc'd on the ultimate fix
which has a different patch header than this patch but on a code level
it is identical (and only patch that landed on a public mailing list
due to typo in linux-block email address when hch sent the final fix):
https://listman.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2021-August/msg00154.html

It is an issue that'll linger in the dm-5.15 because I cannot rebase
at this late hour even once Jens picks the fix up into the
linux-block tree.

Thanks,
Mike
