Subject: dm cache metadata: fail operations if fail_io mode has been established
From: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 10add84e276432d9dd8044679a1028dd4084117e upstream.
Otherwise it is possible to trigger crashes due to the metadata being
inaccessible yet these methods don't safely account for that possibility
without these checks.
