This means that the commit in question didn't introduce the problem you're seeing. Please check out commit 7f2dc5c4bcbf (Merge tag 'dm-3.13-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm), build a kernel from that and see if you can reprocude the problem with it. If so, it can be used as your new "first known bad" kernel for bisection. Otherwise, you can use it as the "first good" one and commit cc8ef52707341 as "first known bad".
