Allocate memory using GFP_NOIO when deleting a btree.  dm_btree_del()
can be called via an ioctl and we don't want to recurse into the FS or
block layer.

redistribute3() shares entries out across 3 nodes.  Some entries were
being moved the wrong way, breaking the ordering.  This manifested as a
BUG() in dm-btree-remove.c:shift() when entries were removed from the
btree.

For additional context see:

<title>dm space map metadata: fix occasional leak of a metadata block on resize</title>

<content type='text'>
The metadata space map has a simplified 'bootstrap' mode that is
operational when extending the space maps.  Whilst in this mode it's
possible for some refcount decrement operations to become queued (eg, as
a result of shadowing one of the bitmap indexes).  These decrements were
not being applied when switching out of bootstrap mode.

The effect of this bug was the leaking of a 4k metadata block.  This is
detected by the latest version of thin_check as a non fatal error.

Pull more device mapper changes from Mike Snitzer:

- Significant dm-crypt CPU scalability performance improvements thanks
  to changes that enable effective use of an unbound workqueue across
  all available CPUs.  A large battery of tests were performed to
  validate these changes, summary of results is available here:
  https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-February/msg00106.html

- A few additional stable fixes (to DM core, dm-snapshot and dm-mirror)
  and a small fix to the dm-space-map-disk.

* tag 'dm-3.20-changes-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm:
  dm snapshot: fix a possible invalid memory access on unload
  dm: fix a race condition in dm_get_md
  dm crypt: sort writes
  dm crypt: add 'submit_from_crypt_cpus' option
  dm crypt: offload writes to thread
  dm crypt: remove unused io_pool and _crypt_io_pool
  dm crypt: avoid deadlock in mempools
  dm crypt: don't allocate pages for a partial request
  dm crypt: use unbound workqueue for request processing
  dm io: reject unsupported DISCARD requests with EOPNOTSUPP
  dm mirror: do not degrade the mirror on discard error
  dm space map disk: fix sm_disk_count_is_more_than_one()

dm_tm_shadow_block() is the only caller of
dm_sm_count_is_more_than_one() which only ever operates on a metadata
space-map.  So in practice, sm_disk_count_is_more_than_one() isn't
actually used (which explains why this bug never amounted to anything).

But fix sm_disk_count_is_more_than_one() to properly set *result and
return 0.
