dm thin: display 'needs_check' in status if it is set
There is currently no way to see that the needs_check flag has been set in the metadata. Display 'needs_check' in the thin-pool status if it is set in the thinp metadata. Also, update thinp documentation. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>
