Hi

This improves a little bit on the previous patch, by replacing costly 
atomic_inc with cheap atomic_set.


From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@...hat.com>

dm: change atomic_inc to atomic_set(1)

There are places in dm where we save bi_endio and bi_private, set them to
target's routine, submit the bio, from the target's bi_endio routine we
restore bi_endio and bi_private and end the bio with bi_endio.

This causes underflow of bi_remaining, so we must restore bi_remaining
before ending the bio from the target bi_endio routine.

The code uses atomic_inc for restoration of bi_remaining. This patch
changes it to atomic_set(1) to avoid an interlocked instruction. In the
target's bi_endio routine we are sure that bi_remaining is zero
(otherwise, the bi_endio routine wouldn't be called) and there are no
concurrent users of the bio, so we can replace atomic_inc with
atomic_set(1).
