dm: allocate requests in target when stacking on blk-mq devices
For blk-mq request-based DM the responsibility of allocating a cloned request is transfered from DM core to the target type. Doing so enables the cloned request to be allocated from the appropriate blk-mq request_queue's pool (only the DM target, e.g. multipath, can know which block device to send a given cloned request to). Care was taken to preserve compatibility with old-style block request completion that requires request-based DM _not_ acquire the clone request's queue lock in the completion path. As such, there are now 2 different request-based DM target_type interfaces: 1) the original .map_rq() interface will continue to be used for non-blk-mq devices -- the preallocated clone request is passed in from DM core. 2) a new .clone_and_map_rq() and .release_clone_rq() will be used for blk-mq devices -- blk_get_request() and blk_put_request() are used respectively from these hooks. dm_table_set_type() was updated to detect if the request-based target is being stacked on blk-mq devices, if so DM_TYPE_MQ_REQUEST_BASED is set. DM core disallows switching the DM table's type after it is set. This means that there is no mixing of non-blk-mq and blk-mq devices within the same request-based DM table.
