Block layer patches:
- qcow2: Use worker threads for compression to improve performance of
'qemu-img convert -W' and compressed backup jobs
- blklogwrites: New filter driver to log write requests to an image in
the dm-log-writes format
- file-posix: Fix image locking during image creation
- crypto: Fix memory leak in error path
- Error out instead of silently truncating node names
