    dm thin: restore requested 'error_if_no_space' setting on OODS to WRITE transition · 172c2386

    A thin-pool that is in out-of-data-space (OODS) mode may transition back
    to write mode -- without the admin adding more space to the thin-pool --
    if/when blocks are released (either by deleting thin devices or
    discarding provisioned blocks).
    
    But as part of the thin-pool's earlier transition to out-of-data-space
    mode the thin-pool may have set the 'error_if_no_space' flag to true if
    the no_space_timeout expires without more space having been made
    available.  That implementation detail, of changing the pool's
    error_if_no_space setting, needs to be reset back to the default that
    the user specified when the thin-pool's table was loaded.
    
    Otherwise we'll drop the user requested behaviour on the floor when this
    out-of-data-space to write mode transition occurs.
