commit 7e6358d244e4706fe612a77b9c36519a33600ac0 upstream.

A NULL pointer is seen if two concurrent "vgchange -ay -K <vg name>"
processes race to load the dm-thin-pool module:

The race results in a NULL pointer because:

Process A (vgchange -ay -K):
 	a. send DM_LIST_VERSIONS_CMD ioctl;
 	b. pool_target not registered;
 	c. modprobe dm_thin_pool and wait until end.

Process B (vgchange -ay -K):
 	a. send DM_LIST_VERSIONS_CMD ioctl;
 	b. pool_target registered;
 	c. table_load->dm_table_add_target->pool_ctr;
 	d. _new_mapping_cache is NULL and panic.
Note:
 	1. process A and process B are two concurrent processes.
 	2. pool_target can be detected by process B but
 	_new_mapping_cache initialization has not ended.

To fix dm-thin-pool, and other targets (cache, multipath, and snapshot)
with the same problem, simply dm_register_target() after all resources
created during module init (as labelled with __init) are finished.
