Andy Grover 63c8ecb626 dm thin: include metadata_low_watermark threshold in pool status 
The metadata low watermark threshold is set by the kernel.  But the
kernel depends on userspace to extend the thinpool metadata device when
the threshold is crossed.

Since the metadata low watermark threshold is not visible to userspace,
upon receiving an event, userspace cannot tell that the kernel wants the
metadata device extended, instead of some other eventing condition.
Making it visible (but not settable) enables userspace to affirmatively
know the kernel is asking for a metadata device extension, by comparing
metadata_low_watermark against nr_free_blocks_metadata, also reported in
status.

Current solutions like dmeventd have their own thresholds for extending
the data and metadata devices, and both devices are checked against
their thresholds on each event.  This lessens the value of the kernel-set
threshold, since userspace will either extend the metadata device sooner,
when receiving another event; or will receive the metadata lowater event
and do nothing, if dmeventd's threshold is less than the kernel's.
(This second case is dangerous. The metadata lowater event will not be
re-sent, so no further event will be generated before the metadata
device is out if space, unless some other event causes userspace to
recheck its thresholds.)
