617a0b89da dm cache: detect cache_create failure
Return error if cache_create() fails.

A missing return check made cache_ctr continue even after an error in
cache_create() resulting in the cache object being destroyed.  So a
simple failure like an odd number of cache policy config value arguments
would result in an oops.

c6b4fcbad0 dm: add cache target
Add a target that allows a fast device such as an SSD to be used as a
cache for a slower device such as a disk.

A plug-in architecture was chosen so that the decisions about which data
to migrate and when are delegated to interchangeable tunable policy
modules.  The first general purpose module we have developed, called
"mq" (multiqueue), follows in the next patch.  Other modules are
under development.
