3.11.10.6 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me 
know.

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

From: Mike Snitzer <[email protected]>

commit 4d1662a30dde6e545086fe0e8fd7e474c4e0b639 upstream.

Commit 905e51b ("dm thin: commit outstanding data every second")
introduced a periodic commit.  This commit occurs regardless of whether
any thin devices have made changes.

Fix the periodic commit to check if any of a pool's thin devices have
changed using dm_pool_changed_this_transaction().
