dm log userspace: split flush queue
Split the 'flush_list', which contained a mix of both 'mark' and 'clear' requests, into two distinct lists ('mark_list' and 'clear_list'). The device mapper log implementations (used by various DM targets) are allowed to cache 'mark' and 'clear' requests until a 'flush' is received. Until now, these cached requests were kept in the same list. They will now be put into distinct lists to facilitate group processing of these requests (in the next patch).
