Pull device mapper fixes from Mike Snitzer:
- Fix DM multipath by restoring full path selector functionality for
bio-based configurations that don't haave a SCSI device handler.
- Fix dm-btree removal to ensure non-root btree nodes have at least
(max_entries / 3) entries. This resolves userspace thin_check
utility's report of "too few entries in btree_node".
- Fix both the DM thin-provisioning and dm-clone targets to properly
flush the data device prior to metadata commit. This resolves the
potential for inconsistency across a power loss event when the data
device has a volatile writeback cache.
- Small documentation fixes to dm-clone and dm-integrity.

dm btree: increase rebalance threshold in __rebalance2()
dm: add dm-clone to the documentation index
dm mpath: remove harmful bio-based optimization
Convert the dm-dust documentation to ReST formatting, using literal
blocks for all of the shell command, shell output, and log output
examples.
Add dm-dust to index.rst.
Additionally, fix an annotation in the "querying for specific bad
blocks" section, on the "queryblock ... not found in badblocklist"
example, to properly state that the message appears when a given
block is not found.
