dm snapshot: fix race during exception creation
Fix a race condition that returns incorrect data when a write causes an exception to be allocated whilst a read is still in flight. The race condition happens as follows: * A read to non-reallocated sector in the snapshot is submitted so that the read is routed to the original device. * A write to the original device is submitted. The write causes an exception that reallocates the block. The write proceeds. * The original read is dequeued and reads the wrong data. This race can be triggered with CFQ scheduler and one thread writing and multiple threads reading simultaneously. (This patch relies upon the earlier dm-kcopyd-per-device.patch to avoid a deadlock.)
