dm: add log writes target

Introduce a new target that is meant for file system developers to test file
system integrity at particular points in the life of a file system.  We capture
all write requests and associated data and log them to a separate device
for later replay.  There is a userspace utility to do this replay.  The
idea behind this is to give file system developers a tool to verify that
the file system is always consistent.

+ * This target will sequentially log all writes to the target device onto the
+ * log device.  This is helpful for replaying writes to check for fs consistency
+ * at all times.  This target provides a mechanism to mark specific events to
+ * check data at a later time.  So for example you would:
+ *
+ * write data
+ * fsync
+ * dmsetup message /dev/whatever mark mymark
+ * unmount /mnt/test
+ *
+ * Then replay the log up to mymark and check the contents of the replay to
+ * verify it matches what was written.
+ *
+ * We log writes only after they have been flushed, this makes the log describe
+ * close to the order in which the data hits the actual disk, not its cache.  So
+ * for example the following sequence (W means write, C means complete)
+ *
+ * Wa,Wb,Wc,Cc,Ca,FLUSH,FUAd,Cb,CFLUSH,CFUAd
+ *
+ * Would result in the log looking like this:
+ *
+ * c,a,flush,fuad,b,<other writes>,<next flush>
+ *
+ * This is meant to help expose problems where file systems do not properly wait
+ * on data being written before invoking a FLUSH.  FUA bypasses cache so once it
+ * completes it is added to the log as it should be on disk.
+ *
+ * We treat DISCARDs as if they don't bypass cache so that they are logged in
+ * order of completion along with the normal writes.  If we didn't do it this
+ * way we would process all the discards first and then write all the data, when
+ * in fact we want to do the data and the discard in the order that they
+ * completed.
