dm: submit stacked requests in irq enabled context
Switch to having request-based DM enqueue all prep'ed requests into work processed by another thread. This allows request-based DM to invoke block APIs that assume interrupt enabled context (e.g. blk_get_request) and is a prerequisite for adding blk-mq support to request-based DM. The new kernel thread is only initialized for request-based DM devices. multipath_map() is now always in irq enabled context so change multipath spinlock (m->lock) locking to always disable interrupts.
