ocf_engine_push_req_(front|back) must not dereference req
pointer after putting the request on queue list and unlocking
the queue. At this point handler interface may asynchronously
pick up the request, handle it and deallocate.

During error handling in WB write insert we didn't invalidate affected
cache lines. Because of that the cache stopped properly (as it's
supposed to), but cache lines were marked as inserted which caused
occupancy stats to increase even though nothing was succesfully
inserted.

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.

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

WO cache mode should not repartition cachelines nor affect cacheline
status in any way when servicing read. Reading data from the cache
is just an internal optimization. Also WO cache mode is designed to
be used with partitioning based on write life-time hints and read
requests do not carry write lifetime hint by definition.

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.
