commit 860f11ed4d6a7bac6f2d698a30a13371c0aa7924
Author: Artur Paszkiewicz <artur.paszkiewicz@intel.com>
Date:   Wed Mar 29 11:54:20 2017 +0200

    Grow: support consistency policy change
    
    Extend the --consistency-policy parameter to work also in Grow mode.
    Using it changes the currently active consistency policy in the kernel
    driver and updates the metadata to make this change permanent. Currently
    this supports only changing between "ppl" and "resync" policies, that is
    enabling or disabling PPL at runtime.
