Store the reference to the snapshot cow device in the core snapshot
code instead of each exception store.  It can be accessed through the
new function dm_snap_cow().  Exception stores should each now maintain a
reference to their parent snapshot struct.

This is cleaner and makes part of the forthcoming snapshot merge code simpler.
