Turn Thin Provisioning vdisks into read only instead of offline when they get full.

When a Thin Provisioning gets full, instead of taking the vdisk offline turn it into read-only, so it's still available for read operations and avoids customer impacting events.

    Sid, I agree that on the paper it may ooops it is a good idea, but in reality, I an certain that the customer do not change the mount option that prevent to not change data (last access date) on a file the OS reads (look at mount 8 for details).

    So not doing that (avoid to change the last access date), even if the vdisk is in read only, the OS will get in trouble as reading a file can generate a write anyway :(.
