[sheepdog] [PATCH 0/3] deep copied snapshots

[Hitoshi Mitake]

This patchset implements a new feature: deep copied snapshot. In a
case of long living, periodically snapshotted VDIs, it is difficult to
collect garbage inodes because the case can produce a large family of
VDIs.

This patch adds a new option --no-share (like vdi cloning) to dog vdi
snapshot. With this option, users can create a new working VDI which
doesn't have parent.

The 3rd patch adds another option --fast-deep-copy. The purpose of the
option is avoiding dog process bottleneck.
