Mikulas Patocka 5349b17c3d dm integrity: fix flush with external metadata device
[ Upstream commit 9b5948267adc9e689da609eb61cf7ed49cae5fa8 ]

With external metadata device, flush requests are not passed down to the
data device.

Fix this by submitting the flush request in dm_integrity_flush_buffers. In
order to not degrade performance, we overlap the data device flush with
the metadata device flush.

Mikulas Patocka afa53df869 dm bufio: move dm-bufio.h to include/linux/
Move dm-bufio.h to include/linux/ so that external GPL'd DM target
modules can use it.

It is better to allow the use of dm-bufio than force external modules
to implement the equivalent buffered IO mechanism in some new way.  The
hope is this will encourage the use of dm-bufio; which will then make it
easier for a GPL'd external DM target module to be included upstream.

A couple dm-bufio EXPORT_SYMBOL exports have also been updated to use
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.
