Instead of stopping passive instance in case of every possible error, allow it
to remain in standby mode if the error was handleable

Cache priv is being allocated on starting cache instance and is freed only when
stopping cache. This cachnge allows to properly handle rollback if activate has
failed. Without setting this flag managment queue is not being stopped despite
its cache doesn't exist.

When dir is ignored, and 0 is passed instead, each flush request will
appear as READ request, which is not supported by some block device
drivers.

One of the steps of discarding data in cache is invalidating OCF metadata.
If a cache line which is supposed to be discarded is dirty, invalidating
it will require flushing metadata. Unfortunately, OCF allocates flushing
requests with the exactly the same flags as the original IO (in this case
discard flag is set) so the page on the disk is discarded instead of being
flushed. In case of power failure occurring before the metadata is flushed
to the disk, the data may be corrupted even if recovery will succeed.
Disabling propagation of original I/O flags for discard requests solves
this problem.

The bio_alloc_bioset() function now BUG() if trying to allocate a bio
with more than BIO_MAX_VECS vectors.
A no-limit value (-1) is defined in order not to change old kernels'
behaviour.

It is legal to call KCAS_IOCTL_INSERT_CORE against non-existing cache
(in try_add mode), however in that case core_id has to be provded.
Return error code in case when given cache id does not exist and core_id
is set to OCF_CORE_MAX.

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.

This is a suboptimal solution to CAS on top of MD RAID1 device. If using
only submit_bio API RAID1 would process all IOs in single thread.
Plugging bypasses this thread and processess IOs in blk_finish_plug
caller context improving performance drastically.
Testing showed no negative impact to other usecases and it's a thing
that Linux does in AIO, so it's vetted and proven to work.
