dm: support barriers on simple devices



Implement barrier support for single device DM devices

This patch implements barrier support in DM for the common case of dm linear
just remapping a single underlying device. In this case we can safely
pass the barrier through because there can be no reordering between
devices.

 NB. Any DM device might cease to support barriers if it gets
     reconfigured so code must continue to allow for a possible
     -EOPNOTSUPP on every barrier bio submitted.  - agk
