benefit both the DM thinp and cache targets.
- A few small DM kcopyd efficiency improvements.
- Significant zoned related block core, DM core and DM zoned target
changes that culminate with adding zoned append emulation (which is
required to properly fix DM crypt's zoned support).
- Various DM writecache target changes that improve efficiency. Adds
an optional "metadata_only" feature that only promotes bios flagged
with REQ_META. But the most significant improvement is writecache's
ability to pause writeback, for a confiurable time, if/when the
working set is larger than the cache (and the cache is full) -- this
ensures performance is no worse than the slower origin device.
