dm snapshot: fix invalidation deadlock
patch fcac03abd325e4f7a4cc8fe05fea2793b1c8eb75 in mainline
Process persistent exception store metadata IOs in a separate thread.
A snapshot may become invalid while inside generic_make_request().
A synchronous write is then needed to update the metadata while still
inside that function. Since the introduction of
md-dm-reduce-stack-usage-with-stacked-block-devices.patch this has to
be performed by a separate thread to avoid deadlock.
