Linus Torvalds 2eecf3a49f - DM cache metadata fixes to short-circuit operations that require the
metadata not be in 'fail_io' mode.  Otherwise crashes are possible.
 
 - a DM cache fix to address the inability to adapt to continuous IO that
   happened to also reflect a changing working set (which required old
   blocks be demoted before the new working set could be promoted)
 
 - a DM cache smq policy cleanup that fell out from reviewing the above
 
 - fix the Kconfig help text for CONFIG_DM_INTEGRITY
