dm: fix truncated status strings

Browse Source 
Avoid returning a truncated table or status string instead of setting
the DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG when the last target of a table fills the
buffer.

When processing a table or status request, the function retrieve_status
calls ti->type->status. If ti->type->status returns non-zero,
retrieve_status assumes that the buffer overflowed and sets
DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG.

However, targets don't return non-zero values from their status method
on overflow. Most targets returns always zero.

If a buffer overflow happens in a target that is not the last in the
table, it gets noticed during the next iteration of the loop in
retrieve_status; but if a buffer overflow happens in the last target, it
goes unnoticed and erroneously truncated data is returned.

In the current code, the targets behave in the following way:
* dm-crypt returns -ENOMEM if there is not enough space to store the
  key, but it returns 0 on all other overflows.
* dm-thin returns errors from the status method if a disk error happened.
  This is incorrect because retrieve_status doesn't check the error
  code, it assumes that all non-zero values mean buffer overflow.
* all the other targets always return 0.

This patch changes the ti->type->status function to return void (because
most targets don't use the return code). Overflow is detected in
retrieve_status: if the status method fills up the remaining space
completely, it is assumed that buffer overflow happened.
