dm snapshot: suspend origin when doing exception handover
In the function snapshot_resume we perform exception store handover. If there is another active snapshot target, the exception store is moved from this target to the target that is being resumed. The problem is that if there is some pending exception, it will point to an incorrect exception store after that handover, causing a crash due to dm-snap-persistent.c:get_exception()'s BUG_ON. This bug can be triggered by repeatedly changing snapshot permissions with "lvchange -p r" and "lvchange -p rw" while there are writes on the associated origin device. To fix this bug, we must suspend the origin device when doing the exception store handover to make sure that there are no pending exceptions: - introduce _origin_hash that keeps track of dm_origin structures. - introduce functions __lookup_dm_origin, __insert_dm_origin and __remove_dm_origin that manipulate the origin hash. - modify snapshot_resume so that it calls dm_internal_suspend_fast() and dm_internal_resume_fast() on the origin device. NOTE to stable@ people: When backporting to kernels 3.12-3.18, use dm_internal_suspend and dm_internal_resume instead of dm_internal_suspend_fast and dm_internal_resume_fast. When backporting to kernels older than 3.12, you need to pick functions dm_internal_suspend and dm_internal_resume from the commit fd2ed4d2.
