dm kcopyd: add dm_kcopyd_zero to zero an area
This patch introduces dm_kcopyd_zero() to make it easy to use kcopyd to write zeros into the requested areas instead instead of copying. It is implemented by passing a NULL copying source to dm_kcopyd_copy(). The forthcoming thin provisioning target uses this.
