    dm-ploop: combine processing of pios thru prepare list and remove fsync worker
    
    Currently data pios and fluses are separated into different lists before
    handled to workqueue. This can lead to executing of flushes before relevant
    data pios and it is not possible to get that dependency in the worker.
    So put both data and flush pios into prepare list. This way worker can
    get single list of the pios and manage ordere while executing.
    
    Now we can remove the fsync_worker and the worker can queue back more
    work without problems.

    Patchset description:
    ploop: optimistations and scalling
    
    Ploop processes requsts in a different threads in parallel
    where possible which results in significant improvement in
    performance and makes further optimistations possible.
    
    Known bugs:
      - delayed metadata writeback is not working and is missing error handling
         - patch to disable it until fixed
      - fast path is not working - causes rcu lockups - patch to disable it
    
    Further improvements:
      - optimize md pages lookups
    
    Alexander Atanasov (50):
      dm-ploop: md_pages map all pages at creation time
