Global free cacheline list is divided into a set of freelists, one
per execution context. When attempting to map addres to cache, first
the freelist for current execution context is considered (fast path).
If current execution context freelist is empty (fast path failure),
mapping function attempts to get freelist from other execution context
list (slow path).
The purpose of this change is improve concurrency in freelist access.
It is part of fine granularity metadata lock implementation.

Promotion policy is supposed to perform ALRU noise filtering by
eliminating one-hit wonders being added to cache and polluting it.

WO cache mode should not repartition cachelines nor affect cacheline
status in any way when servicing read. Reading data from the cache
is just an internal optimization. Also WO cache mode is designed to
be used with partitioning based on write life-time hints and read
requests do not carry write lifetime hint by definition.

Static code analyzers fail to understand that this variable
is always assigned to before usage.

Write-only cache mode is similar to writeback, however read
operations do not promote data to cache. Reads are mostly serviced
by the core device, only dirty sectors are fetched from the cache.

NOTE: This is still not the real asynchronism. Metadata interfaces
are still not fully asynchronous.

- Queue allocation is now separated from starting cache.
- Queue can be created and destroyed in runtime.
- All queue ops accept queue handle instead of queue id.
- Cache stores queues as list instead of array.

Propagate id of ocf_queue for discard io
This resolves the issue of
bottom adapter always getting an ocf_io with io_queue = 0,
no matter from which queue function to bottom adapter was called
