dm thin: Use last transaction's pmd->root when commit failed

commit 7991dbff6849f67e823b7cc0c15e5a90b0549b9f upstream.

Recently we found a softlock up problem in dm thin pool btree lookup
code due to corrupted metadata:

 Kernel panic - not syncing: softlockup: hung tasks
 CPU: 7 PID: 2669225 Comm: kworker/u16:3
 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996)
 Workqueue: dm-thin do_worker [dm_thin_pool]

Following process may generate a broken btree mixed with fresh and
stale btree nodes, which could get dm thin trapped in an infinite loop
while looking up data block:
 Transaction 1: pmd->root = A, A->B->C   // One path in btree
                pmd->root = X, X->Y->Z   // Copy-up
 Transaction 2: X,Z is updated on disk, Y write failed.
                // Commit failed, dm thin becomes read-only.
                process_bio_read_only
		 dm_thin_find_block
		  __find_block
		   dm_btree_lookup(pmd->root)
The pmd->root points to a broken btree, Y may contain stale node
pointing to any block, for example X, which gets dm thin trapped into
a dead loop while looking up Z.

Fix this by setting pmd->root in __open_metadata(), so that dm thin
will use the last transaction's pmd->root if commit failed.
