'GPL-2.0-only' is used instead of 'GPL-2.0' because SPDX has
deprecated its use.

The disk space map stores it's index entries in a btree, these are
accessed very frequently, so having a few cached makes a big difference
to performance.
With this change provisioning a new block takes roughly 20% less cpu.

When we break sharing on btree nodes we typically need to increment
the reference counts to every value held in the node. This can
cause a lot of repeated calls to the space maps. Fix this by changing
the interface to the space map inc/dec methods to take ranges of
adjacent blocks to be operated on.
For installations that are using a lot of snapshots this will reduce
cpu overhead of fundamental operations such as provisioning a new block,
or deleting a snapshot, by as much as 10 times.

Otherwise most non-x86 architectures (e.g. riscv, arm) will resort to
byte-by-byte access.

The space-maps track the reference counts for disk blocks allocated by
both the thin-provisioning and cache targets. There are variants for
tracking metadata blocks and data blocks.
Transactionality is implemented by never touching blocks from the
previous transaction, so we can rollback in the event of a crash.
When allocating a new block we need to ensure the block is free (has
reference count of 0) in both the current and previous transaction.
Prior to this fix we were doing this by searching for a free block in
the previous transaction, and relying on a 'begin' counter to track
where the last allocation in the current transaction was. This
'begin' field was not being updated in all code paths (eg, increment
of a data block reference count due to breaking sharing of a neighbour
block in the same btree leaf).
This fix keeps the 'begin' field, but now it's just a hint to speed up
the search. Instead the current transaction is searched for a free
block, and then the old transaction is double checked to ensure it's
free. Much simpler.
This fixes reports of sm_disk_new_block()'s BUG_ON() triggering when
DM thin-provisioning's snapshots are heavily used.

Introduce bitmap_index_changed to track whether or not the index changed
then only commit a space map if it did.

The persistent-data library offers a re-usable framework for the storage
and management of on-disk metadata in device-mapper targets.
It's used by the thin-provisioning target in the next patch and in an
upcoming hierarchical storage target.
