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.

OCF cannot allocate request map bigger than 4MiB (due to kmalloc
limitations), thus we need to split bigger IOs into series smaller
ones to reduce request map size.

It's defined on every single supported kernel, so there is actually no need
for this define at all.

flag is specified.

The data->size field can be initialized to a lower value than bio->bi_vcnt,
if the bio is split. The bio_for_each_segment then iterates based on the original
indexes and the mismatch eventually causes a BUG_ON.
Fixes#714

If time is counted in jiffies, machine reboot brokes `dirty for`
statistic for caches loaded at boot. The counter overflows and
`dirty for` shows some huge values.
Cast ticks to unsigned long.
Add necessary header.
Move `env_msleep` to `TIME` subgroup of header.
Move `env_time_after` below time converting functions.

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.

New error code will allow to properly handle issues caused by wrong
usage of `remove inactive core` command.
It will also allow to print meaningful error messages.

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.
