  dm cache metadata: use dm-space-map-metadata.h defined size limits
  dm cache: fail migrations in the do_worker error path
  dm cache: simplify deferred set reference count increments
  dm thin: relax external origin size constraints
  dm thin: switch to an atomic_t for tracking pending new block preparations
