Pull device mapper fixes from Mike Snitzer:
- Fix DM core retrieve_deps() UAF race due to missing locking of a DM
table's list of devices that is managed using dm_{get,put}_device.
- Revert DM core's half-baked RCU optimization if IO submitter has set
REQ_NOWAIT. Can be revisited, and properly justified, after
comprehensively auditing all of DM to also pass GFP_NOWAIT for any
allocations if REQ_NOWAIT used.

dm: don't attempt to queue IO under RCU protection

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
