Revert "dm: requeue IO if mapping table not yet available"

Browse Source 
This reverts commit fa247089de.

The following sequence of commands causes a livelock - there will be
workqueue process looping and consuming 100% CPU:

dmsetup create --notable test
truncate -s 1MiB testdata
losetup /dev/loop0 testdata
dmsetup load test --table '0 2048 linear /dev/loop0 0'
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/dm-0 bs=16k count=1 conv=fdatasync

The livelock is caused by the commit fa247089de. The commit claims that
it fixes a race condition, however, it is unknown what the actual race
condition is and what program is involved in the race condition.

When the inactive table is loaded, the nodes /dev/dm-0 and
/sys/block/dm-0 are created. /dev/dm-0 has zero size at this point. When
the device is suspended and resumed, the nodes /dev/mapper/test and
/dev/disk/* are created.

If some program opens a block device before it is created by dmsetup or
lvm, the program is buggy, so dm could just report an error as it used to
do before.
