dm snapshot: avoid allocating exceptions in merge
The snapshot-merge target should not allocate new exceptions because the intent is to merge all of its exceptions as quickly and safely as possible. This patch introduces the snapshot-merge mapping function and updates __origin_write() so that it doesn't allocate exceptions on any snapshots that are being merged. If a write request to a merging snapshot device is to be dispatched directly to the origin (because the chunk is not remapped or was already merged), snapshot_merge_map() must make exceptions in other snapshots so calls do_origin().
