The old code has problems with the Dell MST monitors due to some
assumptions I made that weren't true.
I initially thought the Virtual Channel Payload IDs had to be in
the DPCD table in ascending order, however it appears that assumption
is bogus.
The old code also assumed it was possible to insert a member
into the table and it would move other members up, like it does
when you remove table entries, however reality has shown this
isn't true.
So the new code allocates VCPIs separate from entries in the payload
tracking table, and when we remove an entry from the DPCD table,
I shuffle the tracking payload entries around in the struct.
This appears to make VT switch more robust (still not perfect)
with an MST enabled Dell monitor.

Write requests are sorted in a red-black tree structure and are
submitted in the sorted order.
In theory the sorting should be performed by the underlying disk
scheduler, however, in practice the disk scheduler only accepts and
sorts a finite number of requests. To allow the sorting of all
requests, dm-crypt needs to implement its own own sorting.
The overhead associated with rbtree-based sorting is considered
negligible so it is not used conditionally. Even on SSD sorting can be
beneficial since in-order request dispatch promotes lower latency IO
completion to the upper layers.

Submitting write bios directly in the encryption thread caused serious
performance degradation. On a multiprocessor machine, encryption requests
finish in a different order than they were submitted. Consequently, write
requests would be submitted in a different order and it could cause severe
performance degradation.
Move the submission of write requests to a separate thread so that the
requests can be sorted before submitting. But this commit improves
dm-crypt performance even without having dm-crypt perform request
sorting (in particular it enables IO schedulers like CFQ to sort more
effectively).
Note: it is required that a previous commit ("dm crypt: don't allocate
pages for a partial request") be applied before applying this patch.
Otherwise, this commit could introduce a crash.

Fix a theoretical deadlock introduced in the previous commit ("dm crypt:
don't allocate pages for a partial request").
The function crypt_alloc_buffer may be called concurrently. If we allocate
from the mempool concurrently, there is a possibility of deadlock. For
example, if we have mempool of 256 pages, two processes, each wanting
256, pages allocate from the mempool concurrently, it may deadlock in a
situation where both processes have allocated 128 pages and the mempool
is exhausted.
In order to avoid such a scenario, we allocate the pages under a mutex.
In order to not degrade performance with excessive locking, we try
non-blocking allocations without a mutex first and if it fails, we
fallback to a blocking allocation with a mutex.

Change crypt_alloc_buffer so that it only ever allocates pages for a
full request.
This change is a prerequisite for the commit "dm crypt: offload writes
to thread". Which implies this change is effectively required for the
upcoming cpu parallelization changes.
But this change simplifies the dm-crypt code at the expense of reduced
throughput in low memory conditions (where allocation for a partial
request is most useful).
This change also enables the removal of the io_pending refcount.
Note: the next commit ("dm-crypt: avoid deadlock in mempools") is needed
to fix a theoretical deadlock.

Fix a potential struct stripe_c leak that would occur if the
chunk_size exceeded the maximum allowed by dm_set_target_max_io_len
(UINT_MAX). However, in practice there is no possibility of this
occuring given that chunk_size is of type uint32_t. But it is good to
fix this to future-proof in case dm_set_target_max_io_len's
implementation were to change.
