that callers of ocf_cleaner_fire() are now expected to guarantee that

when ocf_cleaner_fire() is called directly is for request cleaning, and

HB lock takes inclusive metadata lock, which is taken also by metadata
flush, thus trying to call metadata flush under HB lock attempts to take
this lock recursively. In that case, if in the meantime some other thread
would try to take exclusive metadata lock, the inner inclusive lock would
block (because the lock keeps the order), with outer inclusive lock still
held, leading to a deadlock.

With a high dirty ratio and occupancy, OCF might unable to map cache lines
for new requests, thus pass-through the I/O to core devices. IOPS will
drop afterwards. We need to control the dirty ratio.
Existing `alru' policy gives user the chance to control the stale buffer
time, activity threshold etc. They can affect the dirty ratio of the cache
device, but in an empirical manner, more or less. Introducing
`max_dirty_ratio' can make it explicit.
At first glance, it might be better to implement a dedicated cleaner policy
directly targeting dirty ratio goal, so that the `alru' parameters remains
orthogonal. But one the other hand, we still need to flush dirty cache
lines periodically, instead of just keeping a watermark of dirty ratio.
It indicates that existing `alru' parameters are still required if we
develop a new policy, and it seems reasonable to make it a parameter.
To sum up, this patch does the following:
- added a 'max_dirty_ratio' parameter with default value 100;
- with default value 100, `alru' cleaner is identical to what is was;
- with value N less than 100, the cleaner (when waken up) will active
brought dirty ratio to N, regardless of staleness time.

Flush I/O should be forwarded to core and cache device. In case of core
this is simple - just mirror the I/O from the top volume. Since
cache data is owned by OCF it makes sense to send a simple flush I/O
with 0 address and size.
Current implementation attempts to use cache data I/O interface
(ocf_submit_cache_reqs function) instead of submitting empty flush to
the underlying cache device. This function is designed to read/write
from mapped cachelines while there is no traversation/mapping
performed on flush I/O.
If request map allocation succeeds, this results in sending I/O to
addres 0 with size and flags inherited from the top adapter I/O.
This doesn't make any sense, and can even result in invalid I/O if the
size is greater than cache device size.
Even worse, if flush request map allocation fails (which happens
always in case of large flush requests) then the erroneous call to
ocf_submit_cache_reqs results in NULL pointer dereference.

First try to clean only the mapping. This operation does not require any
rollback, so even if flushing collision fails, core object is still
intact. In case of error we inform user that core was not removed by
returning new error code (-OCF_ERR_CORE_NOT_REMOVED).
After flushing collision succeeds we remove core from metadata and
flush superblock at the end. At that point the core is fully removed
from OCF and even if superblock flush error occurs there is nothing we
can do about it, so we just return the error code.

The purpose of this change is not to write superblock to the cache
drive untill all other sections are initilized on disk in attach()
path. Combined with superblock clearing at the erarlier stage of
attach(), this assures there are no residual mappings in the collision
section in case of power failure during attach with pre-existing
metadata.
This is implemented by removing ocf_metadata_flush_all_set_status() step
at the beginning of ocf_metadata_flush_all().
ocf_metadata_flush_all() is called, except for the attach() case described
above, in two cases:
1. at the end of cache load - potentially after cache recovery
2. during detaching cache drive in cache stop.
To make sure there are no regressions in the first case, an explicit
_ocf_mngt_attach_shutdown_status() is added to load pipeline before
ocf_metadata_flush_all(). The second case is always ran after cache
drive is attached, so dirty status bit must have already be written to
the disk.
