dm thin: fix rcu_read_lock being held in code that can sleep

Commit c140e1c ("dm thin: use per thin device deferred bio lists")
introduced the use of an rculist for all active thin devices.  The use
of rcu_read_lock() in process_deferred_bios() can result in a BUG if a
dm_bio_prison_cell must be allocated as a side-effect of bio_detain():

 BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/mempool.c:203
 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 6, name: kworker/u8:0
 3 locks held by kworker/u8:0/6:
   #0:  ("dm-" "thin"){.+.+..}, at: [<ffffffff8106be42>] process_one_work+0x192/0x550
   #1:  ((&pool->worker)){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff8106be42>] process_one_work+0x192/0x550
   #2:  (rcu_read_lock){.+.+..}, at: [<ffffffff816360b5>] do_worker+0x5/0x4d0

We can't process deferred bios with the rcu lock held, since
dm_bio_prison_cell allocation may block if the bio-prison's cell mempool
is exhausted.

To fix:

- Introduce a refcount and completion field to each thin_c

- Add thin_get/put methods for adjusting the refcount.  If the refcount
  hits zero then the completion is triggered.

- Initialise refcount to 1 when creating thin_c

- When iterating the active_thins list we thin_get() whilst the rcu
  lock is held.

- After the rcu lock is dropped we process the deferred bios for that
  thin.

- When destroying a thin_c we thin_put() and then wait for the
  completion -- to avoid a race between the worker thread iterating
  from that thin_c and destroying the thin_c.
