Mike Snitzer 7d48935eff dm thin: allow metadata space larger than supported to go unused
It was always intended that a user could provide a thin metadata device
that is larger than the max supported by the on-disk format.  The extra
space would just go unused.

Unfortunately that never worked.  If the user attempted to use a larger
metadata device on creation they would get an error like the following:

 device-mapper: space map common: space map too large
 device-mapper: transaction manager: couldn't create metadata space map
 device-mapper: thin metadata: tm_create_with_sm failed
 device-mapper: table: 252:17: thin-pool: Error creating metadata object
 device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table

Fix this by allowing the initial metadata space map creation to cap its
size at the max number of blocks supported (DM_SM_METADATA_MAX_BLOCKS).
get_metadata_dev_size() must also impose DM_SM_METADATA_MAX_BLOCKS (via
THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS), otherwise extending metadata would cap at
THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS_WARNING (which is larger than supported).

Also, the calculation for THIN_METADATA_MAX_SECTORS didn't account for
the sizeof the disk_bitmap_header.  So the supported maximum metadata
size is a bit smaller (reduced from 33423360 to 33292800 sectors).

Lastly, remove the "excess space will not be used" warning message from
get_metadata_dev_size(); it resulted in printing the warning multiple
times.  Factor out warn_if_metadata_device_too_big(), call it from
pool_ctr() and maybe_resize_metadata_dev().
