This change introduced a race condition. In some code paths after
cacheline trylock failed, hash bucket lock needed bo be upgraded
in order to obtain asynchronous lock. During hash bucket lock
upgrade, hash read locks were released followed by obtaining
hash write locks. After read locks were released, concurrent
thread could obtain hash bucket locks and modify cacheline
state. The thread upgrading hash bucket lock would need to
repeat traversation in order to safely continue.
This reverts commit 30f22d4f47.

Adding synchronization around metadata collision segment pages.
This part of metadata is modified when cacheline is mapped/unmapped
and when dirty status changes.
Synchronization on page level is required on top of cacheline
and hash bucket locks to assure metadata flush always reads
consistent state when copying entire collision table memory
page.

Hash bucket read/write lock is sufficient to safely attempt
cacheline trylock/lock. This change removes cacheline lock
global RW semaprhore and moves cacheline trylock/lock under
hash bucket read/write lock respectively.

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.

eliminating one-hit wonders being added to cache and polluting it.

NOTE: This is still not the real asynchronism. Metadata interfaces
are still not fully asynchronous.

- 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.
