The metadata space map has a simplified 'bootstrap' mode that is
operational when extending the space maps. Whilst in this mode it's
possible for some refcount decrement operations to become queued (eg, as
a result of shadowing one of the bitmap indexes). These decrements were
not being applied when switching out of bootstrap mode.
The effect of this bug was the leaking of a 4k metadata block. This is
detected by the latest version of thin_check as a non fatal error.
