writecache: use block size 512 for thin pool data

Recent commit 84bd394cf9aaa581b4bf980f764544dda26a0305
  "writecache: use block size 4096 when no fs is found"

failed to account for the case where writecache is attached
to thin pool data.  Checking fs block size on the thin pool
data LV is wrong, and checking the fs block on each thin LV
would be impractical, so default to 512 which cannot break
any existing file systems, and require the user to specify
4k when appropriate.
