Split the metadata commit in two parts:
1. dm_clone_metadata_pre_commit(): Prepare the current transaction for
committing. After this is called, all subsequent metadata updates,
done through either dm_clone_set_region_hydrated() or
dm_clone_cond_set_range(), will be part of the next transaction.
2. dm_clone_metadata_commit(): Actually commit the current transaction
to disk and start a new transaction.
This is required by the following commit. It allows dm-clone to flush
the destination device after step (1) to ensure that all freshly
hydrated regions, for which we are updating the metadata, are properly
written to non-volatile storage and won't be lost in case of a crash.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
