#1648489 — [PATCH 4.9 027/164] dm cache metadata: fail operations if fail_io mode has been established

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

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

From: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

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.
