dm request: extend target interface
This patch adds the following target interfaces for request-based dm. map_rq : for mapping a request rq_end_io : for finishing a request busy : for avoiding performance regression from bio-based dm. Target can tell dm core not to map requests now, and that may help requests in the block layer queue to be bigger by I/O merging. In bio-based dm, this behavior is done by device drivers managing the block layer queue. But in request-based dm, dm core has to do that since dm core manages the block layer queue.
