*
* Attempt to retrieve the dirty_log_type by name. If not already
* available, attempt to load the appropriate module.
*
* Log modules are named "dm-log-" followed by the 'type_name'.
* Modules may contain multiple types.
* This function will first try the module "dm-log-<type_name>",
* then truncate 'type_name' on the last '-' and try again.
*
* For example, if type_name was "clustered-disk", it would search
* 'dm-log-clustered-disk' then 'dm-log-clustered'.
*
* Returns: dirty_log_type* on success, NULL on failure
