[Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1] dm: don't inherit bio-based table type for targets without ->map

[Alexander Ivanov]

A table whose single target has no devices inherits the live table's
type in dm_table_determine_type(). dm-qcow2 and dm-ploop open their
images by fd and never call dm_get_device(), so loading them over a
bio-based live table makes the table bio-based although these targets
have no ->map. The first bio then calls a NULL ->map from __map_bio():

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
  RIP: 0010:0x0
   __map_bio+0x197/0x1c0 [dm_mod]
   dm_split_and_process_bio+0x1ad/0x740 [dm_mod]

Inherit the live table's type only if the target has ->map, so it can
run bio-based. Otherwise keep the request-based type, so table_load()
rejects the mismatch with "can't change device type".
