[PATCH] dm snapshot: fix kcopyd destructor

Before removing a snapshot, wait for the completion of any kcopyd jobs using
it.

Do this by maintaining a count (nr_jobs) of how many outstanding jobs each
kcopyd_client has.

The snapshot destructor first unregisters the snapshot so that no new kcopyd
jobs (created by writes to the origin) will reference that particular
snapshot.  kcopyd_client_destroy() is now run next to wait for the completion
of any outstanding jobs before the snapshot exception structures (that those
jobs reference) are freed.
