Since ocf requires loading cache with the same name as it was stopped, it should
also allow to read name from metadata.

Adding synchronization around metadata collision segment pages.
This part of metadata is modified when cacheline is mapped/unmapped
and when dirty status changes.
Synchronization on page level is required on top of cacheline
and hash bucket locks to assure metadata flush always reads
consistent state when copying entire collision table memory
page.

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.

Metadata layout (seq / striping) is already encapsulated
in ocf_metadata_layout_iface, no need to double this logic
in freelist initialization.

Environment should provide calls for destroying primitives (i.e. env_mutex_destroy()) and OCF should call these functions in its cleanup paths.

This simplifies cases when we want to call completion callback
and immediately return from void-returning function, by allowing
to explicitly express programmers intent. That way we can avoid
cases when return statement is missing by mistake (this patch
fixes at least one bug related to this).

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