This patch reduces lock contention in btree walks. We modify the
functions init_ro_wpin, exit_ro_spine and ro_step so that they use
dm_bufio_lock_read/dm_bufio_get_unlocked/dm_bufio_unlock_read. If
dm_bm_fast_get_block fails, we fallback to normal locking.
When doing tests on pmem and fully provisioned thin volume, it improves
thoughput from 286MiB/s to 442MiB/s.
