Subject: [PATCH 4.19 57/86] dm writecache: verify watermark during resume

From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@...hat.com>

commit 41c526c5af46d4c4dab7f72c99000b7fac0b9702 upstream.

Verify the watermark upon resume - so that if the target is reloaded
with lower watermark, it will start the cleanup process immediately.

Fixes: 48debafe4f2f ("dm: add writecache target")
Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org # 4.18+
