dm cache: fix resize crash if user doesn't reload cache table
A reload of the cache's DM table is needed during resize because otherwise a crash will occur when attempting to access smq policy entries associated with the portion of the cache that was recently extended. The reason is cache-size based data structures in the policy will not be resized, the only way to safely extend the cache is to allow for a proper cache policy initialization that occurs when the cache table is loaded. For example the smq policy's space_init(), init_allocator(), calc_hotspot_params() must be sized based on the extended cache size. The fix for this is to disallow cache resizes of this pattern: 1) suspend "cache" target's device 2) resize the fast device used for the cache 3) resume "cache" target's device Instead, the last step must be a full reload of the cache's DM table.
