dm bio prison v1: improve concurrent IO performance
Split the bio prison into multiple regions, with a separate rbtree and
associated lock for each region.
To get fast bio prison locking and not damage the performance of
discards too much the bio-prison now stipulates that discards should
not cross a BIO_PRISON_MAX_RANGE boundary.
Because the range of a key (block_end - block_begin) must not exceed
BIO_PRISON_MAX_RANGE: break_up_discard_bio() now ensures the data
range reflected in PHYSICAL key doesn't exceed BIO_PRISON_MAX_RANGE.
And splitting the thin target's discards (handled with VIRTUAL key) is
achieved by updating dm-thin.c to set limits->max_discard_sectors in
terms of BIO_PRISON_MAX_RANGE _and_ setting the thin and thin-pool
targets' max_discard_granularity to true.
