Pull device-mapper changes from Alasdair G Kergon:
 "Add a device-mapper target called dm-switch to provide a multipath
  framework for storage arrays that dynamically reconfigure their
  preferred paths for different device regions.

  Fix a bug in the verity target that prevented its use with some
  specific sizes of devices.

  Improve some locking mechanisms in the device-mapper core and bufio.

  Add Mike Snitzer as a device-mapper maintainer.

  A few more clean-ups and fixes"
