[PATCH 3.14 20/52] dm thin: fix missing out-of-data-space to write mode transition if blocks are released

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Joe Thornber <ejt@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 2c43fd26e46734430122b8d2ad3024bb532df3ef upstream.

Discard bios and thin device deletion have the potential to release data
blocks.  If the thin-pool is in out-of-data-space mode, and blocks were
released, transition the thin-pool back to full write mode.

The correct time to do this is just after the thin-pool metadata commit.
It cannot be done before the commit because the space maps will not
allow immediate reuse of the data blocks in case there's a rollback
following power failure.
