When creating new devices dm_sync_table() calls
synchronize_rcu_expedited(), causing _all_ pending
RCU pointers to be flushed. This causes a latency
overhead especially noticeable when creating lots
of devices.
And all of this is pointless as there are no old
maps to be disconnected, and hence no stale pointers
which would need to be cleared up.

Looks good, I'll get it staged for 3.19 (will need to be rebased on the
linux-dm.git 'dm-for-3.19' branch given the suspend related refactoring
there, but I'll take care of it as needed).
