dm bufio: Add DM_BUFIO_CLIENT_NO_SLEEP flag
Add an optional flag that ensures dm_bufio_client does not sleep
(primary focus is to service dm_bufio_get without sleeping). This
allows the dm-bufio cache to be queried from interrupt context.
To ensure that dm-bufio does not sleep, dm-bufio must use a spinlock
instead of a mutex. Additionally, to avoid deadlocks, special care
must be taken so that dm-bufio does not sleep while holding the
spinlock.
But again: the scope of this no_sleep is initially confined to
dm_bufio_get, so __alloc_buffer_wait_no_callback is _not_ changed to
avoid sleeping because __bufio_new avoids allocation for NF_GET.
