cac4a9743a Allow dm-cache cache device to be standard LV
If a single, standard LV is specified as the cache, use
it directly instead of converting it into a cache-pool
object with two separate LVs (for data and metadata).

With a single LV as the cache, lvm will use blocks at the
beginning for metadata, and the rest for data.  Separate
dm linear devices are set up to point at the metadata and
data areas of the LV.  These dm devs are given to the
dm-cache target to use.

The single LV cache cannot be resized without recreating it.

If the --poolmetadata option is used to specify an LV for
metadata, then a cache pool will be created (with separate
LVs for data and metadata.)

Usage:

$ lvcreate -n main -L 128M vg /dev/loop0

$ lvcreate -n fast -L 64M vg /dev/loop1

$ lvs -a vg
  LV   VG Attr       LSize   Type   Devices
  main vg -wi-a----- 128.00m linear /dev/loop0(0)
  fast vg -wi-a-----  64.00m linear /dev/loop1(0)

$ lvconvert --type cache --cachepool fast vg/main

$ lvs -a vg

  [main_corig] vg owi---C--- 128.00m                     linear /dev/loop0(0)
