Correct the number of mapped sectors shown on a thin device's
status line by decrementing td->mapped_blocks in __remove() each time
a block is removed.

The __open_device() error paths in __create_thin() and __create_snap()
incorrectly call __close_device() even if td was not initialized by
__open_device(). Remove this.
Also document __open_device() return values, remove a redundant
td->changed = 1 in __create_thin(), and insert an additional
safeguard against creating an already-existing device.

Initial EXPERIMENTAL implementation of device-mapper thin provisioning
with snapshot support. The 'thin' target is used to create instances of
the virtual devices that are hosted in the 'thin-pool' target. The
thin-pool target provides data sharing among devices. This sharing is
made possible using the persistent-data library in the previous patch.
The main highlight of this implementation, compared to the previous
implementation of snapshots, is that it allows many virtual devices to
be stored on the same data volume, simplifying administration and
allowing sharing of data between volumes (thus reducing disk usage).
Another big feature is support for arbitrary depth of recursive
snapshots (snapshots of snapshots of snapshots ...). The previous
implementation of snapshots did this by chaining together lookup tables,
and so performance was O(depth). This new implementation uses a single
data structure so we don't get this degradation with depth.
For further information and examples of how to use this, please read
