There is no need to constantly hold metadata global lock
during collecting cachelines to clean. Since we are past
freezing dirty request counter, we know for sure that the
number of dirty cache lines will not increase. So the worst
case is when the loop realxes and releases the lock,
a concurent IO to CAS is serviced in WT mode, possibly
inserting and/or evicting cachelines. This does not interfere
with scanning for dirty cachelines. And the lower layer will
handle synchronization with concurrent I/O by acquiring
asynchronous read lock on each cleaned cacheline.

In current implementation in case of fast media flushning
container may starve all concurrent containers flushing
due to continous rescheduling of offender requests to the
front of I/O queue. Pushing request to the back of IO
queue ensures FIFO handling and removes possibility of
starvation.

Lower layer is prepared to handle used cachelines by
acquiring asynchronus read lock. It is very likely that
by the time the cacheline is actually cleaned its lock
state changes. So checking the lock at the moment of
constructing dirty cachelines list makes little sense.

Moving _ocf_mngt_flush_containers outside global metadata
critical section. All this function does is sort core lines
and add queue request.
This fixes stalls reported by Linux scheduler due to
IO threads waiting on global metadata RW semaprhore for
several minutes.

a_req is allocated using env_vmalloc() so we need to free it
using env_vfree(), not env_free().

Discard handling splits large request into several steps.
However the actual size of request map for discard was
determined based on original request size, not step request
size, resulting in waste of memory and allocations > 4K.

512K is the maximum request size for which request map
fits into one page (4K) regardless of cacheline size.

In case of cleaning metadata used to be flushed only when status of whole cache
line changed to clean.
This patch ensures that metadata flush is triggered after changin status of each
single sector is cache line.

After second dirty write to cache line which was already dirty, metadata flush
was not triggered. In case of dirty shutdown, this led to data corruption.

Since the calculation that's being used right now isn't too acurate
anyways, let's just get rid of it, maybe we'll find more memory-related
bugs.

This way debug prints during metadata init phase won't cause crash
(because of the fact that temporary cache object does not have proper
ctx set hence does not have logger obj).
