The tt_internal is really just a list_head to manage registered target_type
in a double linked list,
Here embed the list_head into target_type directly,
1. to avoid kmalloc/kfree;
2. then tt_internal is really unneeded;

The tt_internal's 'use' field is superfluous: the module's refcount can do
the work properly. An acceptable side-effect is that this increases the
reference counts reported by 'lsmod'.
Remove the superfluous test when removing a target module.
[Crash possible without this on SMP - agk]

Change dm_unregister_target to return void and use BUG() for error
reporting.
dm_unregister_target can only fail because of programming bug in the
target driver. It can't fail because of user's behavior or disk errors.
This patch changes unregister_target to return void and use BUG if
someone tries to unregister non-registered target or unregister target
that is in use.
This patch removes code duplication (testing of error codes in all dm
targets) and reports bugs in just one place, in dm_unregister_target. In
some target drivers, these return codes were ignored, which could lead
to a situation where bugs could be missed.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
