commit e6a505f3f9fae572fb3ab3bc486e755ac9cef32c upstream.
Extend struct dirty_map with a second bitmap which tracks the exact
regions that were hydrated during the current metadata transaction.
Moreover, fix __flush_dmap() to only commit the metadata of the regions
that were hydrated during the current transaction.
This is required by the following commits to fix a data corruption bug.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
