'GPL-2.0-only' is used instead of 'GPL-2.0' because SPDX has
deprecated its use.

When we break sharing on btree nodes we typically need to increment
the reference counts to every value held in the node. This can
cause a lot of repeated calls to the space maps. Fix this by changing
the interface to the space map inc/dec methods to take ranges of
adjacent blocks to be operated on.
For installations that are using a lot of snapshots this will reduce
cpu overhead of fundamental operations such as provisioning a new block,
or deleting a snapshot, by as much as 10 times.

dm_btree_remove_leaves() only unmaps a contiguous region so we need a
loop, in __remove_range(), to handle ranges that contain multiple
regions.
A new btree function, dm_btree_lookup_next(), is introduced which is
more efficiently able to skip over regions of the thin device which
aren't mapped. __remove_range() uses dm_btree_lookup_next() for each
iteration of __remove_range()'s loop.
Also, improve description of dm_btree_remove_leaves().

dm_btree_find_lowest_key is the reciprocal of dm_btree_find_highest_key.
Factor out common code for dm_btree_find_{highest,lowest}_key.
dm_btree_find_lowest_key is needed for an upcoming DM target, as such it
is best to get this interface in place.

Add dm_btree_walk to iterate through the contents of a btree.
This will be used by the dm cache target.

The persistent-data library offers a re-usable framework for the storage
and management of on-disk metadata in device-mapper targets.
It's used by the thin-provisioning target in the next patch and in an
upcoming hierarchical storage target.
