Some of the device mapper targets override the error code returned by
dm_get_device() and return either -EINVAL or -ENXIO. There is nothing
gained by this override. It is better to propagate the returned error
code unchanged to caller.
This work was motivated by hitting an issue where the underlying device
was busy but -EINVAL was being returned. After this change we get
-EBUSY instead and it is easier to figure out the problem.

Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:
(1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
(2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback
The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.
So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

On 32-bit:
drivers/md/dm-log-writes.c: In function ‘log_super’:
drivers/md/dm-log-writes.c:323: warning: integer constant is too large for ‘long’ type
Add a ULL suffix to WRITE_LOG_MAGIC to fix this.
Also add a ULL suffix to WRITE_LOG_VERSION as it's stored in a __le64
field.

Introduce a new target that is meant for file system developers to test file
system integrity at particular points in the life of a file system. We capture
all write requests and associated data and log them to a separate device
for later replay. There is a userspace utility to do this replay. The
idea behind this is to give file system developers a tool to verify that
the file system is always consistent.
