Extend the core device-mapper infrastructure to accept arbitrary ioctls on a
mapped device provided that it has exactly one target and it is capable of
supporting ioctls.
[We can't use unlocked_ioctl because we need 'inode': 'file' might be NULL.
Is it worth changing this?]

Add a library function dm_create_error_table() to create a table that rejects
any I/O sent to a device with EIO.

Move definitions of core device-mapper functions for manipulating mapped
devices and their tables to <linux/device-mapper.h> advertising their
availability for use elsewhere in the kernel.
Protect the contents of device-mapper.h with ifdef __KERNEL__. And throw
in a few formatting clean-ups and extra comments.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
