[RFC PATCH v12 12/20] dm verity: set DM_TARGET_SINGLETON feature flag

The device-mapper has a flag to mark targets as singleton, which is a
required flag for immutable targets. Without this flag, multiple
dm-verity targets can be added to a mapped device, which has no
practical use cases and will let dm_table_get_immutable_target return
NULL. This patch adds the missing flag, restricting only one
dm-verity target per mapped device.
