Subject: [PATCH] dm thin: fix use-after-free crash in
dm_sm_register_threshold_callback

Fault inject on pool metadata device reports:

  BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in dm_pool_register_metadata_threshold+0x40/0x80
  Read of size 8 at addr ffff8881b9d50068 by task dmsetup/950

  CPU: 7 PID: 950 Comm: dmsetup Tainted: G        W         5.19.0-rc6 #1

This can be easily reproduced using:
echo offline > /sys/block/sda/device/state
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/thin bs=4k count=10
dmsetup load pool --table "0 20971520 thin-pool /dev/sda /dev/sdb 128 0 0"

If a metadata commit fails, the transaction will be aborted and the metadata space maps will be destroyed. If a DM table reload then happens for this failed thin-pool, a use-after-free will occur in dm_sm_register_threshold_callback (called from dm_pool_register_metadata_threshold).

Fix this by in dm_pool_register_metadata_threshold() by returning the -EINVAL error if the thin-pool is in fail mode. Also fail pool_ctr() with a new error message: "Error registering metadata threshold".
