[PATCH] dm snapshot: fix kcopyd destructor
Before removing a snapshot, wait for the completion of any kcopyd jobs using it. Do this by maintaining a count (nr_jobs) of how many outstanding jobs each kcopyd_client has. The snapshot destructor first unregisters the snapshot so that no new kcopyd jobs (created by writes to the origin) will reference that particular snapshot. kcopyd_client_destroy() is now run next to wait for the completion of any outstanding jobs before the snapshot exception structures (that those jobs reference) are freed.
