Merge tag 'for-5.5/dm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm

Pull device mapper fixes from Mike Snitzer:

 - Fix DM multipath by restoring full path selector functionality for
   bio-based configurations that don't haave a SCSI device handler.

 - Fix dm-btree removal to ensure non-root btree nodes have at least
   (max_entries / 3) entries. This resolves userspace thin_check
   utility's report of "too few entries in btree_node".

 - Fix both the DM thin-provisioning and dm-clone targets to properly
   flush the data device prior to metadata commit. This resolves the
   potential for inconsistency across a power loss event when the data
   device has a volatile writeback cache.

 - Small documentation fixes to dm-clone and dm-integrity.
