Reformat function that calculates how long cache/core is dirty
Update `dirty_for` types in functional tests
Values stored in info structs fields (both in cache and core structs)
are unsigned 64-bits ints but `dirty_for`s were unsigned 32-bits ints.
Use existing function to transform returned value to seconds.
Replace seconds stored in metadata with seconds.
Replacement was done if old value of replaced field was equal to zero.
Acquiring monotonic high precission timestamp is potentially
slow and it makes sense to compare the field's value
to zero before calling atomic function.

Cacheline concurrency functions have their interface changed
so that the cacheline concurrency private context is
explicitly on the parameter list, rather than being taken
from cache->device->concurrency.cache_line.
Cache pointer is no longer provided as a parameter to these
functions. Cacheline concurrency context now has a pointer
to cache structure (for logging purposes only).
The purpose of this change is to facilitate unit testing.

1. new abbreviated previx: ocf_hb (HB stands for hash bucket)
2. clear distinction between functions requiring caller to
hold metadata shared global lock ("naked") vs the ones
which acquire global lock on its own ("prot" for protected)
3. clear distinction between hash bucket locking functions
accepting hash bucket id ("id"), core line and lba ("cline")
and entire request ("req").
Resulting naming scheme:
ocf_hb_(id/cline/req)_(prot/naked)_(lock/unlock/trylock)_(rd/wr)

If there is any dirty data on the cache associated with removed core,
we must flush collision metadata after removing core to make metadata
persistent in case of dirty shutdown.
This fixes the problem when recovery procedure erroneously interprets
cache lines that belonged to removed core as valid ones.
This also fixes the problem, when after removing core containing dirty
data another core is added, and then recovery procedure following dirty
shutdown assigns cache lines from removed core to the new one, effectively
leading to data corruption.

Min and max values, keept as an explicit number of cachelines, are tightly
coupled with particular cache. This might lead to errors and mismatches after
reattaching cache of different size.
To prevent those errors, min and max should be calculated dynamically.

Moving metadata implementation out of obsolete metadata_hash.c
to .c files corresponding to function declaration header files.
This requires adding shared header for metadata implementation
metadata_internal.h. Some metadata header files did not have
a corresponding .c file - in this case it is added in this
commit.

Locks acquired in ocf_metadata_flush(/load)_all are
acquired only for the duration of queueing asynch
service for flush/load, no actual metadata accesses
are performed there.
Also flush/load all are always performed with metadata
marked as deinitialized (metadata reference counter freezed),
so no I/O is reading nor writing the metadata. The only source
of potential concurrent metadata accesses are other management
operations, which should be synchronized using management lock.

Adding synchronization around metadata collision segment pages.
This part of metadata is modified when cacheline is mapped/unmapped

There is one RW lock per hash bucket. Write lock is required
to map cacheline, read lock is sufficient for traversing.
Hash bucket locks are always acquired under global metadata
read lock. This assures mutual exclusion with eviction and
management paths, where global metadata write lock is held.

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.

Fix problem introduced by increasing partition name size to 1024 bytes,
which effectively made superblock bigger than one page. Due to this
flushing superblock required more than one io, which in case of dirty
shutdown between these ios resulted in CRC missmatch and made cache
recovery impossible.
Moving parts metadata to separate sections makes superblock fitting
in one page, effectively solving described problem.

Don't try to remove invalid cores
If valid cache metadata was read, but environment has changed (i.e. number of cache lines has changed) ocf (in error handling path) was trying to close cores which were not opened. It happened due to cores were marked in cache metadata as added, but any cache inserting operation didn't take place.
In this patch 'added' flag in cache metadata was replaced with more meaningful 'valid' - it is set if given core is stored in cache metadata. Moreover, new 'added' flag was added to core run-time metadata and it is set if given core is added to cache.
Modify ocf_metadata_hash_func to return consecutive (modulo @hash_table_entries)
values for consecutive @core_line_num. This way it is trivial to sort all
core lines within a single request according to their hash value. This kind
of sorting will be required to assure that future hash bucket metadata locks
are always acquired in fixed order, eliminating the risk of dead locks.
This change is part of fine granularity metadata lock implementation.
