Mikulas Patocka 123d87d553 dm: make dm_table_find_target return NULL
Currently, if we pass too high sector number to dm_table_find_target, it
returns zeroed dm_target structure and callers test if the structure is
zeroed with the macro dm_target_is_valid.

However, returning NULL is common practice to indicate errors.

This patch refactors the dm code, so that dm_table_find_target returns
NULL and its callers test the returned value for NULL. The macro
dm_target_is_valid is deleted. In alloc_targets, we no longer allocate an
extra zeroed target.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
