Management pipelines tend to consist of multiple asynchronous steps.
Allowing synchronous queue kick results in massive call stacks (e.g.
almost 500 functions deep in case of cache stop). Since async kick
is required anyway, it seems reasonable to switch to async kick
in pipeline implementation.

New structure ocf_part is added to contain all the data common for both
user partitions and freelist partition: part_runtime and part_id.
ocf_user_part now contains ocf_part structure as well as pointer to
cleaning partition runtime metadata (moved out from part_runtime) and
user partition config (no change here).

Eviction changes allowing to evict (remap) cachelines while
holding hash bucket write lock instead of global metadata
write lock.
As eviction (replacement) is now tightly coupled with request,
each request uses eviction size equal to number of its
unmapped cachelines.
Evicting without global metadata write lock is possible
thanks to the fact that remaping is always performed
while exclusively holding cacheline (read or write) lock.
So for a cacheline on LRU list we acquire cacheline lock,
safely resolve hash and consequently write-lock hash bucket.
Since cacheline lock is acquired under hash bucket (everywhere
except for new eviction implementation), we are certain that
noone acquires cacheline lock behind our back. Concurrent
eviction threads are eliminated by holding eviction list
lock for the duration of critial locking operations.

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.

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.

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.
