[PATCH 3.18 24/84] dm cache: only use overwrite optimisation for promotion when in writeback mode

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: Joe Thornber <ejt@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit f29a3147e251d7ae20d3194ff67f109d71e501b4 upstream.

Overwrite causes the cache block and origin blocks to diverge, which
is only allowed in writeback mode.
