    dm-ploop: fix how ENOTBLK is handled
    
    direct IO  write result ENOTBLK or 0(in ext4 case) means
    retry IO in buffered mode. We wrongly assumed that it is
    a short write and handled it incorrectly
    
    Since we can not retry in buffered mode, code is not ready
    for it. Take a different route. This error happens if
    page invalidation fails, which is a very rare situation.
    So call synchronize_rcu() and just resubmit pio.
    Try this three times and end pio with error.

    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
