Mike Snitzer 2e68c4e6ca dm cache: add policy name to status output
The cache's policy may have been established using the "default" alias,
which is currently the "mq" policy but the default policy may change in
the future.  It is useful to know exactly which policy is being used.

Add a 'real' member to the dm_cache_policy_type structure and have the
"default" dm_cache_policy_type point to the real "mq"
dm_cache_policy_type.  Update dm_cache_policy_get_name() to check if
real is set, if so report the name of the real policy (not the alias).

/*
* The cache policy makes the important decisions about which blocks get to
* live on the faster cache device.
*
* When the core target has to remap a bio it calls the 'map' method of the
* policy. This returns an instruction telling the core target what to do.
*
* POLICY_HIT:
* That block is in the cache. Remap to the cache and carry on.
*
* POLICY_MISS:
* This block is on the origin device. Remap and carry on.
*
* POLICY_NEW:
* This block is currently on the origin device, but the policy wants to
* move it. The core should:
*
* - hold any further io to this origin block
* - copy the origin to the given cache block
* - release all the held blocks
* - remap the original block to the cache
*
* POLICY_REPLACE:
* This block is currently on the origin device. The policy wants to
* move it to the cache, with the added complication that the destination
* cache block needs a writeback first. The core should:
*
* - hold any further io to this origin block
* - hold any further io to the origin block that's being written back
* - writeback
* - copy new block to cache
* - release held blocks
* - remap bio to cache and reissue.
*
* Should the core run into trouble while processing a POLICY_NEW or
* POLICY_REPLACE instruction it will roll back the policies mapping using
* remove_mapping() or force_mapping(). These methods must not fail. This
* approach avoids having transactional semantics in the policy (ie, the
* core informing the policy when a migration is complete), and hence makes
* it easier to write new policies.
*
* In general policy methods should never block, except in the case of the
* map function when can_migrate is set. So be careful to implement using
* bounded, preallocated memory.
