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.

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

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.
If cleaning policy didn't have init() function,
'_ocf_mngt_init_instance_load_complete' returned early and promotion policy
wasn't initialized at all.

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

When cache is detached we cannot assume there is a management
queue created. This change introduces simplified cache stop
path, performing all the necessary deinit without using
IO queues.

This reverts commit 5ad5c521df.
This change broke setting IO-classes with allocation. We use max as a
special value to indicate that the partition should use cache global
caching mode.
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.
