The patches in this fourth series is not very well related to
each other.
The first two make the bulk of the initialization of an rbd_dev
occur while holding its semaphore. It's done in two steps to
make review easier.
The third deletes some code that some analysis shows is not
necessary.
The fourth one is significant for version 2 images. It changes
rbd_snap_by_name() so it uses the rbd_dev->snaps list in looking
up a snapshot id by name rather than using the snapshot context.
For version 2 images, having a snapshot context doesn't imply
the names for the snapshot ids in that context are readily available.
However all snapshots in the snaps list will already have a cached
copy of snapshot names (for both format 1 and 2) so this allows
this single lookup function to work efficiently for both formats.
It is available as branch "wip-rbd-review-4" on the ceph-client git
repository, and is based on the branch "wip-rbd-review-3".
