dm snapshot: flush merged data before committing metadata

stable inclusion
from linux-4.19.169
commit aef593d2c87598839d6200772c5aee8a9ecdcd9f

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

commit fcc42338 upstream.

If the origin device has a volatile write-back cache and the following
events occur:

1: After finishing merge operation of one set of exceptions,
   merge_callback() is invoked.
2: Update the metadata in COW device tracking the merge completion.
   This update to COW device is flushed cleanly.
3: System crashes and the origin device's cache where the recent
   merge was completed has not been flushed.

During the next cycle when we read the metadata from the COW device,
we will skip reading those metadata whose merge was completed in
step (1). This will lead to data loss/corruption.

To address this, flush the origin device post merge IO before
updating the metadata.
