Merge tag 'dm-4.2-changes' of git://git./linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - DM core cleanups:

     * blk-mq request-based DM no longer uses any mempools now that
       partial completions are no longer handled as part of cloned
       requests

 - DM raid cleanups and support for MD raid0

 - DM cache core advances and a new stochastic-multi-queue (smq) cache
   replacement policy

     * smq is the new default dm-cache policy

 - DM thinp cleanups and much more efficient large discard support

 - DM statistics support for request-based DM and nanosecond resolution
   timestamps

 - Fixes to DM stripe, DM log-writes, DM raid1 and DM crypt
