    dm thin metadata: fix bug when taking a metadata snapshot · 49e99fc7
    Joe Thornber authored
    When you take a metadata snapshot the btree roots for the mapping and
    details tree need to have their reference counts incremented so they
    persist for the lifetime of the metadata snap.
    
    The roots being incremented were those currently written in the
    superblock, which could possibly be out of date if concurrent IO is
    triggering new mappings, breaking of sharing, etc.
    
    Fix this by performing a commit with the metadata lock held while taking
    a metadata snapshot.
