Process persistent exception store metadata IOs in a separate thread. A snapshot may become invalid while inside generic_make_request(). A synchronous write is then needed to update the metadata while still inside that function. Since the introduction of md-dm-reduce-stack-usage-with-stacked-block-devices.patch this has to be performed by a separate thread to avoid deadlock. Signed-off-by:
