When issuing discard request over 512KiB OCF would trim this request and
overwrite req->core_line_count which would then cause this request to be
freed from wrong mpool.
This is fixed now by saving core_line_count that was set when allocating
this request that is never overwritten. This alloc_core_line_count is
then used to free the request from correct mpool.

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.

Changing sequential request detection so that a miss request is
recognized as sequential after needed cachelines are evicted
and mapped to the request in a sequential order.

Since the request carries an explicit information about number of the
cacheliens to be reparted, no need of keeping the boolean information if some
of the request's cachelines are assigned to a wrong partition

Instead of redunant calculating number of cachlines to be reparted, keep this
information in request's info

If partition's occupancy limit is reached, cachelines should be evicted from
request's target partition.
Information whether particular partition eviction should be triggered is
carried as a flag by request which triggered eviction.

Add second pass of write invalidate. It is necessary only
if concurrent I/O had inserted target LBAs to cache after
WI request did traversation. These LBAs might have been
written by WI request behind the concurrent I/O's back,
resulting in making these sectors effectively invalid.
In this case we must update these sectors' metadata to
reflect this. However we won't know about this after we
traverse the request again - hence calling ocf_write_wi
again with req->wi_second_pass set to indicate that this
is the second pass (core write should be skipped).

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.

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.

- Queue allocation is now separated from starting cache.
- Queue can be created and destroyed in runtime.
- All queue ops accept queue handle instead of queue id.
- Cache stores queues as list instead of array.
