Subject[2.6.22.2 review 72/84] dm snapshot: permit invalid activation

From: Milan Broz <mbroz@redhat.com>

Allow invalid snapshots to be activated instead of failing.

This allows userspace to reinstate any given snapshot state - for
example after an unscheduled reboot - and clean up the invalid snapshot
at its leisure.
