dm integrity: implement fair range locks
dm-integrity locks a range of sectors to prevent concurrent I/O or journal
writeback. These locks were not fair - so that many small overlapping I/Os
could starve a large I/O indefinitely.
Fix this by making the range locks fair. The ranges that are waiting are
added to the list "wait_list". If a new I/O overlaps some of the waiting
I/Os, it is not dispatched, but it is also added to that wait list.
Entries on the wait list are processed in first-in-first-out order, so
that an I/O can't starve indefinitely.
