If a snapshot is created and later deleted the origin dm_thin_device's snapshotted_time will have been updated to reflect the snapshot's creation time. The 'shared' flag in the dm_thin_lookup_result struct returned from dm_thin_find_block() is an approximation based on snapshotted_time -- this is done to avoid 0(n), or worse, time complexity. In this case, the shared flag would be true. But because the 'shared' flag reflects an approximation a block can be incorrectly assumed to be shared (e.g. false positive for 'shared' because the snapshot no longer exists). This could result in discards issued to a thin device not being passed down to the pool's underlying data device. To fix this we double check that a thin block is really still in-use after a mapping is removed using dm_pool_block_is_used(). If the reference count for a block is now zero the discard is allowed to be passed down. Also add a 'definitely_not_shared' member to the dm_thin_new_mapping structure -- reflects that the 'shared' flag in the response from dm_thin_find_block() can only be held as definitive if false is returned.
