This issue, missing dm_put_target_type, dates back to 2011.

See these 3 commits:
$ git log --oneline 3791e2fc0^..36a0456fb
36a0456 dm table: add immutable feature
cc6cbe1 dm table: add always writeable feature
3791e2f dm table: add singleton feature

So are you having problems with failed DM table loads (due to the errors
below) resulting in the inability to unload a DM module?

(BTW, you don't need to cc stable when initially proposing a patch for
stable.  The stable@ maintainers will automatically pull such stable@
changes in once they land in Linus' tree.)
