3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com>
commit fafc7a815e40255d24e80a1cb7365892362fa398 upstream.
Switch the thin pool to read-only mode when dm_thin_insert_block() fails since there is little reason to expect the cause of the failure to be resolved without further action by user space.
This issue was noticed with the device-mapper-test-suite using: dmtest run --suite thin-provisioning -n /exhausting_metadata_space_causes_fail_mode/
The quantity of errors logged in this case must be reduced.
