-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Jeff Mahoney One part of the system can attempt to use a mapped device before another has finished initialising it or while it is being freed. This patch introduces a place holder value, MINOR_ALLOCED, to mark the minor as allocated but in a state where it can't be used, such as mid-allocation or mid-free. At the end of the initialization, it replaces the place holder with the pointer to the mapped_device, making it available to the rest of the dm subsystem.
