dm-transaction-manager: use red-black trees instead of linear lists

There was reported performance degradation when the shadow map contained
too many entries [1]. The shadow map uses 256-bucket hash with linear
lists - when there are too many entries, it has quadratic complexity.

Meir Elisha proposed to add a module parameter that could configure the
size of the hash array - however, this is not ideal because users don't
know that they should increase the parameter when they get bad
performance.

This commit replaces the linear lists with rb-trees (so that there's a
hash of rb-trees), they have logarithmic complexity, so it solves the
performance degradation.
