Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

dm thin: fix use-after-free crash in dm_sm_register_threshold_callback

Fault inject on pool metadata device reports:
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in dm_pool_register_metadata_threshold+0x40/0x80
Read of size 8 at addr ffff8881b9d50068 by task dmsetup/950

CPU: 7 PID: 950 Comm: dmsetup Tainted: G W 5.19.0-rc6 #1
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.14.0-1.fc33 04/01/2014
Call Trace:
<TASK>

__x64_sys_ioctl+0xb3/0xd0
do_syscall_64+0x35/0x80
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0

This can be easily reproduced using:
echo offline > /sys/block/sda/device/state
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/thin bs=4k count=10
dmsetup load pool --table "0 20971520 thin-pool /dev/sda /dev/sdb 128 0 0"

If a metadata commit fails, the transaction will be aborted and the
metadata space maps will be destroyed. If a DM table reload then
happens for this failed thin-pool, a use-after-free will occur in
dm_sm_register_threshold_callback (called from
dm_pool_register_metadata_threshold).

Fix this by in dm_pool_register_metadata_threshold() by returning the
-EINVAL error if the thin-pool is in fail mode. Also fail pool_ctr()
with a new error message: "Error registering metadata threshold".
