Split traversation into two distinct phases: lookup()
and lru set_hot(). prepare_cachelines() now only calls
set_hot() once after lookup and insert are finished.
lookup() is called explicitly only once in
prepare_cachelines() at the very beginning of the
procedure. If request is a miss then then map()
performs operations equivalent to lookup() supplemented
by an attempt to map cachelines. Both lookup() and
set_hot() are called via traverse() from the engines
which do not attempt mapping, and thus do not call
prepare_clines().

Unmapping cachelines previously mapped from freelist before
eviction is a waste of resources. Also if map does not erarly
exit upon first mapping error, we can have request fully
traversed (and partially mapped) after mapping and thus
skip lookup in eviction.

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.

Allowing request cacheline lock to be called on partially
locked request. This is going to be usefull for upcomming
eviction improvements, where request will first have evicted
(LOOKUP_REMAPPED) cachelines assigned to it in a locked state,
followed by standard request cacheline lock call in order to
lock previously inserted (LOOKUP_HIT) or mapped from freelist
(LOOKUP_INSERTED) cachelines.

Function returns true if cacheline is locked (read
or write) by exactly one entity with no waiters.
This is usefull for eviction. Assuming caller holds
hash bucket write lock, having exlusive cacheline
lock (either read or write) allows holder to remap
cacheline safely. Typically during eviction hash
bucket is unknown until resolved under cacheline lock,
so locking cacheline exclusively (instead of locking
and checking for exclusive lock) is not possible.
More specifically this is the flow for synchronizing
cacheline remap using ocf_cache_line_is_locked_exclusively:
1. acquire a cacheline (read or write) lock
2. resolve hash bucket
3. write-lock hash bucket
4. verify cacheline lock is exclusive

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.
