Dongmao Zhang 5066a4df1f dm log userspace: allow mark requests to piggyback on flush requests
In the cluster evironment, cluster write has poor performance because
userspace_flush() has to contact a userspace program (cmirrord) for
clear/mark/flush requests.  But both mark and flush requests require
cmirrord to communicate the message to all the cluster nodes for each
flush call.  This behaviour is really slow.

To address this we now merge mark and flush requests together to reduce
the kernel-userspace-kernel time.  We allow a new directive,
"integrated_flush" that can be used to instruct the kernel log code to
combine flush and mark requests when directed by userspace.  If not
directed by userspace (due to an older version of the userspace code
perhaps), the kernel will function as it did previously - preserving
backwards compatibility.  Additionally, flush requests are performed
lazily when only clear requests exist.

/*
* The device-mapper userspace log module consists of a kernel component and
* a user-space component. The kernel component implements the API defined
* in dm-dirty-log.h. Its purpose is simply to pass the parameters and
* return values of those API functions between kernel and user-space.
*
* Below are defined the 'request_types' - DM_ULOG_CTR, DM_ULOG_DTR, etc.
* These request types represent the different functions in the device-mapper
* dirty log API. Each of these is described in more detail below.
*
* The user-space program must listen for requests from the kernel (representing
* the various API functions) and process them.
*
* User-space begins by setting up the communication link (error checking
* removed for clarity):
* fd = socket(PF_NETLINK, SOCK_DGRAM, NETLINK_CONNECTOR);
* addr.nl_family = AF_NETLINK;
* addr.nl_groups = CN_IDX_DM;
* addr.nl_pid = 0;
* r = bind(fd, (struct sockaddr *) &addr, sizeof(addr));
* opt = addr.nl_groups;
* setsockopt(fd, SOL_NETLINK, NETLINK_ADD_MEMBERSHIP, &opt, sizeof(opt));
*
* User-space will then wait to receive requests form the kernel, which it
* will process as described below. The requests are received in the form,
* ((struct dm_ulog_request) + (additional data)). Depending on the request
* type, there may or may not be 'additional data'. In the descriptions below,
* you will see 'Payload-to-userspace' and 'Payload-to-kernel'. The
* 'Payload-to-userspace' is what the kernel sends in 'additional data' as
* necessary parameters to complete the request. The 'Payload-to-kernel' is
* the 'additional data' returned to the kernel that contains the necessary
* results of the request. The 'data_size' field in the dm_ulog_request
* structure denotes the availability and amount of payload data.

* automatically after calling DM_ULOG_DTR.) If there is no device needed
* for log data, 'data_size' in the dm_ulog_request struct should be 0.
*
* The UUID contained in the dm_ulog_request structure is the reference that
* will be used by all request types to a specific log. The constructor must
* record this association with the instance created.
*
* When the request has been processed, user-space must return the
