    Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:
     "This pull request is later than I'd have liked because I was waiting
      for some performance data to help finally justify sending the
      long-standing dm-crypt cpu scalability improvements upstream.
    
      Unfortunately we came up short, so those dm-crypt changes will
      continue to wait, but it seems we're not far off.
    
       . Add dm_accept_partial_bio interface to DM core to allow DM targets
         to only process a portion of a bio, the remainder being sent in the
         next bio.  This enables the old dm snapshot-origin target to only
         split write bios on chunk boundaries, read bios are now sent to the
         origin device unchanged.
    
       . Add DM core support for disabling WRITE SAME if the underlying SCSI
         layer disables it due to command failure.
    
       . Reduce lock contention in DM's bio-prison.
    
       . A few small cleanups and fixes to dm-thin and dm-era"
