Turns out I already fixed this a different way about a month ago and
staged it for 4.1, see:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm.git/commit/?h=for-next&id=db57216e710ea5c517f1030fafe7eb21ac938dc5

You'll be interested to note this portion of that commit's header:
"This _should_ eliminate DM's need for io_schedule_timeout() in
mempool_alloc(); so io_schedule() should be sufficient now."

I'll defer to you on whether you'd like to pursue switching to
io_schedule() in mempool_alloc().
