From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx> If we are merging an invalidated snapshot, redirect all accesses to the origin device. This is safe because snapshot_merge_process() will stop_merge() if the merging snapshot becomes invalid. Allowing the origin device to remain functional is important because it may contain the root filesystem.
