[dm-devel] [PATCH] 2.4: dm-exception-store.c: Correct "enough-room-left" check

In persistent_prepare(), the "enough-room-left" check only verifies that the
start of the next-free chunk is within the cow device. If the cow device
is not an even multiple of the chunk-size, the snapshot code will eventually
try to write off the end of the cow device.

Check that the entire next-free chunk is within the cow device.
