When IO queues are used for parallelized management operations,
e.g. changing cleaning policy, a deadlock may occur due to global
metadata lock interfering with taking request from IO queue,
as they might be run on the same thread. As a workaround using
a management queue specifically for such operations eliminates
this problem.

This avoids unnecessary map allocation and initialization of unused fields of
request structure. It also allows to track thier number separately from
the regular requests

The queues can be created and destroyed dynamically at any point in
the cache lifetime, and this can happen from different execution contexts,
thus there is a need to protect the queue_list with a lock.

Previously every created queue was added to io_queues list, which
made mngt_queue being used in ocf_parallelize. Change mngt_queue creation
API so that mngt_queue is not added to the list and doesn't have
unnecessary functionalities initialized.

Majority of management operations should be blocked for detached cache,
although adding and removing cores should be possible.

Stop and cache detach were already sharing contexts implicitly, which allowed
to reuse some functions in both pipelines. However, changing the context structs
could lead to not obvious bugs.
To prevent such errors both methods now share context structure explicitly

'stop_pipeline' filed may be reused during cache lifetime (e.g. when cache is
detached and attached again - the pipeline would be freed and then
re-allocated). Calling completion after detach before freeing the pipeline may
lead to race condition.

Because context has one field which is aligned to 64B
(struct ocf_volume cache_volume) the compiler use vmovdqa (aligned)
instead of vmovdqu (unaligned) in reality the address is not 64 aligned,
it ends with 0x8, so we get this segfault.

Don't populate cleaning policies during initialization procedure so the user
has to call the latter explicitly.
Until now cleaning policies could be populated in two ways:
- implicitly during cleaning policy initialization,
- explicitly be calling populate.
The difference was that the former was single threaded.
This patch removes the functionally redundant and less efficient code.

The function not only recovers cleaning policy metadata but is also utilized
to initialize data structures so more generic name is actually more accurate

Normally cleaning policy would be deinitialized during stopping cache which is
one of steps of error handling e.g in case of failed cache activation. But since
`cache_stop()` may be called only for an attached cache instance, cleaning
policy needs to deinitialized explicitly.

Cleaning policy is initialized on standby activate, after all the metadata
from primary cache is flushed and the actual recovery is being performed.
Thus initializing it earlier on standby attach is incorrect.

conf_meta->core_count is not modified during load/recovery in the latest
version. Thus in case of error in cores initialization, in order to
iterate over the initialized cores we must depend on core->added only,
regardles of conf_meta->core_count value. for_each_core() macro does
exactly this.

Set bit only on core addition and clean it on core removal.
This allows to avoid conf metadata modification in load / standby load
paths, which effectively prevents issues with metadata mismatch during
consequent standby activate attempts after initial activate failure.
Previously the first attempt changed the metadata, so on comparison with
metadata on drive failed on any following attempt, leading to inability
to activate the cache.
