dm snapshot: unify chunk_size
Persistent snapshots currently store a private copy of the chunk size. Userspace also supplies the chunk size when loading a snapshot. Ensure consistency by only storing the chunk_size in one place instead of two. Currently the two sizes will differ if the chunk size supplied by userspace does not match the chunk size an existing snapshot actually uses. Amongst other problems, this causes an incorrect 'percentage full' to be reported. The patch ensures consistency by only storing the chunk_size in one place, removing it from struct pstore. Some initialisation is delayed until the correct chunk_size is known. If read_header() discovers that the wrong chun size was supplied, the 'area' buffer (which the header already got read into is reinitialised to the correct size.
