Title:
  dm-cache: clean cache resyncs to origin on every boot

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  On every boot an entire dm-cache resyncs to an origin device, even if
  it was clean before on shutdown. It takes time and full bandwidth of
  an origin device. There is the simple solution from the upstream:

      [dm-cache] The CLEAN_SHUTDOWN flag was not being set
      
      or rather, it was being set on the disk, then immediately cleared again.
      
      If the CLEAN_SHUTDOWN flag is not set when a cache is loaded then all cache
      blocks are marked as dirty and a full writeback occurs.
