Joe Thornber 3e1a069909 dm thin: fix out of data space handling 
Ideally a thin pool would never run out of data space; the low water
mark would trigger userland to extend the pool before we completely run
out of space.  However, many small random IOs to unprovisioned space can
consume data space at an alarming rate.  Adjust your low water mark if
you're frequently seeing "out-of-data-space" mode.

Before this fix, if data space ran out the pool would be put in
PM_READ_ONLY mode which also aborted the pool's current metadata
transaction (data loss for any changes in the transaction).  This had a
side-effect of needlessly compromising data consistency.  And retry of
queued unserviceable bios, once the data pool was resized, could
initiate changes to potentially inconsistent pool metadata.

Now when the pool's data space is exhausted transition to a new pool
mode (PM_OUT_OF_DATA_SPACE) that allows metadata to be changed but data
may not be allocated.  This allows users to remove thin volumes or
discard data to recover data space.

The pool is no longer put in PM_READ_ONLY mode in response to the pool
running out of data space.  And PM_READ_ONLY mode no longer aborts the
pool's current metadata transaction.  Also, set_pool_mode() will now
notify userspace when the pool mode is changed.
