dm-transaction-manager: use red-black trees instead of linear lists
There was reported performance degradation when the shadow map contained too many entries [1]. The shadow map uses 256-bucket hash with linear lists - when there are too many entries, it has quadratic complexity. Meir Elisha proposed to add a module parameter that could configure the size of the hash array - however, this is not ideal because users don't know that they should increase the parameter when they get bad performance. This commit replaces the linear lists with rb-trees (so that there's a hash of rb-trees), they have logarithmic complexity, so it solves the performance degradation.
