Mikulas Patocka 879129d208 dm snapshot: wait for chunks in destructor
If there are several snapshots sharing an origin and one is removed
while the origin is being written to, the snapshot's mempool may get
deleted while elements are still referenced.

Prior to dm-snapshot-use-per-device-mempools.patch the pending
exceptions may still have been referenced after the snapshot was
destroyed, but this was not a problem because the shared mempool
was still there.

This patch fixes the problem by tracking the number of mempool elements
in use.

The scenario:
- You have an origin and two snapshots 1 and 2.
- Someone writes to the origin.
- It creates two exceptions in the snapshots, snapshot 1 will be primary
exception, snapshot 2's pending_exception->primary_pe will point to the
exception in snapshot 1.
- The exceptions are being relocated, relocation of exception 1 finishes
(but it's pending_exception is still allocated, because it is referenced
by an exception from snapshot 2)
- The user lvremoves snapshot 1 --- it calls just suspend (does nothing)
and destructor. md->pending is zero (there is no I/O submitted to the
snapshot by md layer), so it won't help us.
- The destructor waits for kcopyd jobs to finish on snapshot 1 --- but
there are none.
- The destructor on snapshot 1 cleans up everything.
- The relocation of exception on snapshot 2 finishes, it drops reference
on primary_pe. This frees its primary_pe pointer. Primary_pe points to
pending exception created for snapshot 1. So it frees memory into
non-existing mempool.
