dm: implement basic barrier support
Barriers are submitted to a worker thread that issues them in-order. The thread is modified so that when it sees a barrier request it waits for all pending IO before the request then submits the barrier and waits for it. (We must wait, otherwise it could be intermixed with following requests.) Errors from the barrier request are recorded in a per-device barrier_error variable. There may be only one barrier request in progress at once. For now, the barrier request is converted to a non-barrier request when sending it to the underlying device. This patch guarantees correct barrier behavior if the underlying device doesn't perform write-back caching. The same requirement existed before barriers were supported in dm. Bottom layer barrier support (sending barriers by target drivers) and handling devices with write-back caches will be done in further patches.
