  dm mpath: fix IO hang due to logic bug in multipath_busy (2014-07-10 16:44:15 -0400)

All fixes are marked for stable.

Please pull, thanks.
Mike

----------------------------------------------------------------
. Fix DM multipath IO hang regression from 3.15 due to logic bug in
  multipath_busy.  This impacted cable-pull testing and also the ability
  to boot with IPR SCSI on a POWER8 box.

. Fix possible deadlock with deferred device removal by using a new
  dedicated workqueue rather than using the system workqueue.

. Fix NULL pointer crash due to race condition in dm-io's wake up code
  for sync_io by using a completion.

. Update dm-crypt and dm-zero author name following legal name change;
  this is important to Jana so I didn't see any reason to hold it back.
