3.11.10.2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Joe Thornber <ejt at redhat.com>

commit 5383ef3a929a1366e2ced45cd6d74be7aa2a2281 upstream.

If the thin-pool transitioned to fail mode and the thin-pool's table
were reloaded for some reason: the new table's default pool mode would
be read-write, though it will transition to fail mode during resume.

When the pool mode transitions directly from PM_WRITE to PM_FAIL we need
to re-establish the intermediate read-only state in both the metadata
and persistent-data block manager (as is usually done with the normal
pool mode transition sequence: PM_WRITE -> PM_READ_ONLY -> PM_FAIL).
