dm snapshot: make bio optional in __origin_write

To support the merging of snapshots back into their origin we need
to trigger exceptions in other snapshots not being merged without
any incoming bio on the origin device.  The bio parameter to
__origin_write() becomes optional and the sector needs supplying
separately.
