This patch changes the 'drop_snapshot' function in the
exception store API. Ignoring the fact that it was already
misnamed (we don't drop the snapshot, we invalidate the
exception store), there are new requirements for altering
exception stores.
In addition to invalidating an exception store, we now need
to be able to specify that a particular exception store be
permanently destroyed (useful especially for "shared"
exception store implementations).
DM_ES_INVALID: Means that the exception store is invalid.
(Perhaps due to running out of available
storage.) However, the exception store is
is to be left in-place.
DM_ES_DESTROY: Means the exception store is to be permanently
removed.
DM_ES_DESTROY furthers the case for the suspend functions
added to the API in an earlier patch. They give the
exception store implementations time to finish removing
a particular instance before being required to suspend
activity.
