dm io: use slab for struct io

Allocate "struct io" from a slab.

This patch changes dm-io, so that "struct io" is allocated from a slab cache.
It used to be allocated with kmalloc. Allocating from a slab will be needed
for the next patch, because it requires a special alignment of "struct io"
and kmalloc cannot meet this alignment.
