Due to linux thread scheduling nature, we prefer to promote streams
as early as we reasonably can. One way to achieve that is to set
promotion count really low, which unfortunately significantly increases
number of accesses to shared structures. The other way is to promote
streams which reach cutoff threshold, as we can reasonably assume that
they are likely be continued after thread is rescheduled to another CPU.

Some helper threads are created at the very beginning of cache start/stop
operations, but they are used only after OCF start/stop finishes, which
may take significant amount of time. Kernel by default creates threads
that wait for the first wake up in uninterruptible state, which may trigger
hung task warning if the first wake up is called more than 120 seconds
after thread creation. To mitigate this problem we create lazy thread
abstraction that waits for a wake up in interruptible state.

In case of initial flush error stop is aborted. In case
of failure during the second flush, appropriate error
message is presetned to the user.

Don't remove inactive core if it has dirt cache lines assigned unless `force`

Create module-side handling of inactive core removal.
Extract core functionality of core removal that applies to inactive core
and copy it to `cache_mngt_remove_inactive_core` function.
Return proper error if core is active.

FLush only active core during core removal.
During core removal with `casadm -R` there's a flush triggered.
This flush shall be skipped for inactive cores.
Change return code when `casadm -R` is called with `force` flag.
There was no info about dirty data when core was removed without flush.
Do not destroy exported object while core is inactive.
Perform detach only on active cores.
Skip removing inactive core with command for active cores.

Kernel adapter now returns is_cache_device=1 and newly added
metadata_compatible=0 in case of metadata detected with
differing version (instead of is_cache_device = 0).
This allows zero-superblock command to recognize old
cache instance and clear it.
casadm --script --check-cache-device still returns 'Is cache'='no'
in this case, as this layer only cares about metadata in current
version to be able to detect dirty datas tatus.

Ignore the interruption of the stop operation - will finish asynchronously.
Remove redundant `ocf_queue_put`.
Move creating the `finish_thread` during the cache stop
from the `_cache_mngt_cache_stop_sync` to the `cache_mngt_exit_instance`
and give it a proper handling.

If cache is restored after upgrade, NULL is passed instead of
`struct kcas_start_cache`. This leads to null pointer dereference.
To prevent null pointer dereference, `struct kcas_start_cache` is tested before
each use

If cache is initialized successfully, `struct _cache_mngt_attach_context` might
be freed in `cache_mngt_init_instance()`. In such case pointer to rollback
thread can't be accessed and thread can't be stopped.
To prevent such scenario pointer should be kept in separate variable.

Purge invalidates all cache lines which belongs to given core. It is very
usefull feature for tests.
Calling purge is possbile with casadm `--script` swtich.
