this bug's scence is as follows:
process A(vgchange -ay -K):
a. send DM_LIST_VERSIONS_CMD ioctl;
b. pool_target not registered;
c. modprobe dm_thin_pool and wait until end.
process B(vgchange -ay -K):
a. send DM_LIST_VERSIONS_CMD ioctl;
b. pool_target registered;
c. table_load->dm_table_add_target->pool_ctr;
d. _new_mapping_cache is NULL and panic.
note:
1. process A and process B are two concurrent processes.
2. pool_target can be detected by process B but
_new_mapping_cache initialization has not ended.
All that we need do is to ensure pool_target registering ops
is the last ops in dm_thin_init.
