Subject: [PATCH v4 06/13] dm snapshot: merge target should not allocate new
 exceptions

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

The snapshot-merge target should not allocate new exceptions because the
intent is to merge all of its exceptions as quickly and safely as
possible.

Introduce new method, snapshot_merge_map(), that won't allocate
exceptions.  Modify __origin_write() so that it doesn't allocate
exceptions in merging snapshots.

If a write request to a merging snapshot device is to be dispatched
directly to the origin (because the chunk is not remapped or was already
merged), snapshot_merge_map() must make exceptions in other snapshots.
