Mike Snitzer 873f258bec dm thin metadata: do not write metadata if no changes occurred
Otherwise, just activating a thin-pool and thin device and then
deactivating them will cause the thin-pool metadata to be changed
(e.g. superblock written) -- even without any metadata being changed.

Add 'in_service' flag to struct dm_pool_metadata and set it in
pmd_write_lock() because all on-disk metadata changes must take a write
lock of pmd->root_lock.  Once 'in_service' is set it is never cleared.
__commit_transaction() will return 0 if 'in_service' is not set.
dm_pool_commit_metadata() is updated to use __pmd_write_lock() so that
it isn't the sole reason for putting a thin-pool in service.

Also fix dm_pool_commit_metadata() to open the next transaction if the
return from __commit_transaction() is 0.  Not seeing why the early
return ever made since for a return of 0 given that dm-io's async_io(),
as used by bufio, always returns 0.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
