Mike Snitzer 4a02b34e0c dm thin: switch to read-only mode if metadata space is exhausted
Switch the thin pool to read-only mode in alloc_data_block() if
dm_pool_alloc_data_block() fails because the pool's metadata space is
exhausted.

Differentiate between data and metadata space in messages about no
free space available.

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.

before patch:
