When we break sharing on btree nodes we typically need to increment
the reference counts to every value held in the node. This can
cause a lot of repeated calls to the space maps. Fix this by changing
the interface to the space map inc/dec methods to take ranges of
adjacent blocks to be operated on.
For installations that are using a lot of snapshots this will reduce
cpu overhead of fundamental operations such as provisioning a new block,
or deleting a snapshot, by as much as 10 times.

shadow_root() truncates 64-bit dm_block_t into 32-bit int. This is
not an issue in practice, since dm metadata as of v5.11 can only hold at
most 4161600 blocks (255 index entries * ~16k metadata blocks).
Nevertheless, this can confuse users debugging some specific data
corruption scenarios. Also, DM_SM_METADATA_MAX_BLOCKS may be bumped in
the future, or persistent-data may find its use in other places.
Therefore, switch the return type of shadow_root from int to dm_block_t.

In commit 4c7da06f5a ("dm persistent data: eliminate unnecessary
return values"), r value in exit_ro_spine will not change, so
exit_ro_spine doesn't need a return value.

dm_bm_unlock and dm_tm_unlock return an integer value but the returned
value is always 0. The calling code sometimes checks the return value
and sometimes doesn't.
Eliminate these unnecessary return values and also the checks for them.

When using nested btrees, the top leaves of the top levels contain
block addresses for the root of the next tree down. If we shadow a
shared leaf node the leaf values (sub tree roots) should be incremented
accordingly.
This is only an issue if there is metadata sharing in the top levels.
Which only occurs if metadata snapshots are being used (as is possible
with dm-thinp). And could result in a block from the thinp metadata
snap being reused early, thus corrupting the thinp metadata snap.

The walk code was using a 'ro_spine' to hold it's locked btree nodes.
But this data structure is designed for the rolling lock scheme, and
as such automatically unlocks blocks that are two steps up the call
chain. This is not suitable for the simple recursive walk algorithm,
which retraces its steps.
This code is only used by the persistent array code, which in turn is
only used by dm-cache. In order to trigger it you need to have a
mapping tree that is more than 2 levels deep; which equates to 8-16
million cache blocks. For instance a 4T ssd with a very small block
size of 32k only just triggers this bug.
The fix just places the locked blocks on the stack, and stops using
the ro_spine altogether.

This patch fixes a compilation failure on sparc32 by renaming struct node.
struct node is already defined in include/linux/node.h. On sparc32, it
happens to be included through other dependencies and persistent-data
doesn't compile because of conflicting declarations.

The persistent-data library offers a re-usable framework for the storage
and management of on-disk metadata in device-mapper targets.
It's used by the thin-provisioning target in the next patch and in an
upcoming hierarchical storage target.
