I have three questions:

1. If we need to preserve the -tpool layer, why the commit 00a45ca4
activates a new thinpool (transaction_id == 0) without overlay?

2. Is it necessary to suspend any thin volume while extending a
thinpool? If not, the commit fa648234 might need some fix.

3. Similary to question(2), is it necessary to suspend thin-pool while
expanding a thin-volume ? If no, we should adopt the approach of
a900d150e for thin-volume expansion. The following is my solution:
