Merge tag 'dm-3.20-changes-2' of git://git./linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm

Pull more device mapper changes from Mike Snitzer:

- Significant dm-crypt CPU scalability performance improvements thanks
  to changes that enable effective use of an unbound workqueue across
  all available CPUs.  A large battery of tests were performed to
  validate these changes, summary of results is available here:
  https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-February/msg00106.html

- A few additional stable fixes (to DM core, dm-snapshot and dm-mirror)
  and a small fix to the dm-space-map-disk.
