Mikulas Patocka 5ea330a75b dm snapshot: workaround for a false positive lockdep warning
The kernel reports a lockdep warning if a snapshot is invalidated because
it runs out of space.

The lockdep warning was triggered by commit 0976dfc1d0
("workqueue: Catch more locking problems with flush_work()") in v3.5.

The warning is false positive.  The real cause for the warning is that
the lockdep engine treats different instances of md->lock as a single
lock.

This patch is a workaround - we use flush_workqueue instead of flush_work.
This code path is not performance sensitive (it is called only on
initialization or invalidation), thus it doesn't matter that we flush the
whole workqueue.

The real fix for the problem would be to teach the lockdep engine to treat
different instances of md->lock as separate locks.
