multipath_busy. This impacted cable-pull testing and also the ability
to boot with IPR SCSI on a POWER8 box.
. Fix possible deadlock with deferred device removal by using a new
dedicated workqueue rather than using the system workqueue.
. Fix NULL pointer crash due to race condition in dm-io's wake up code
for sync_io by using a completion.
. Update dm-crypt and dm-zero author name following legal name change;
this is important to Jana so I didn't see any reason to hold it back.
