commit 75294442d896f2767be34f75aca7cc2b0d01301f upstream.

Now both check_for_space() and do_no_space_timeout() will read & write
pool->pf.error_if_no_space.  If these functions run concurrently, as
shown in the following case, the default setting of "queue_if_no_space"
can get lost.

precondition:
    * error_if_no_space = false (aka "queue_if_no_space")
    * pool is in Out-of-Data-Space (OODS) mode
    * no_space_timeout worker has been queued

CPU 0:                          CPU 1:
// delete a thin device
process_delete_mesg()
// check_for_space() invoked by commit()
set_pool_mode(pool, PM_WRITE)
    pool->pf.error_if_no_space = \
     pt->requested_pf.error_if_no_space

// timeout, pool is still in OODS mode
do_no_space_timeout
    // "queue_if_no_space" config is lost
    pool->pf.error_if_no_space = true
    pool->pf.mode = new_mode

Fix it by stopping no_space_timeout worker when switching to write mode.

Fixes: bcc696fac11f ("dm thin: stay in out-of-data-space mode once no_space_timeout expires")
