After refactoring the metadata path, the backpointer controlling
synced I/Os in a line becomes unnecessary; metadata is scheduled
on the write thread, thus we know when the end of the line is reached
and act on it directly.

At the moment, line metadata is persisted on a separate work queue, that
is kicked each time that a line is closed. The assumption when designing
this was that freeing the write thread from creating a new write request
was better than the potential impact of writes colliding on the media
(user I/O and metadata I/O). Experimentation has proven that this
assumption is wrong; collision can cause up to 25% of bandwidth and
introduce long tail latencies on the write thread, which potentially
cause user write threads to spend more time spinning to get a free entry
on the write buffer.

This patch moves the metadata logic to the write thread. When a line is
closed, remaining metadata is written in memory and is placed on a
metadata queue. The write thread then takes the metadata corresponding
to the previous line, creates the write request and schedules it to
minimize collisions on the media. Using this approach, we see that we
can saturate the media's bandwidth, which helps reducing both write
latencies and the spinning time for user writer threads.

Erase I/Os are scheduled with the following goals in mind: (i) minimize
LUNs collisions with write I/Os, and (ii) even out the price of erasing
on every write, instead of putting all the burden on when garbage
collection runs. This works well on the current design, but is specific
to the default mapping algorithm.

This patch generalizes the erase path so that other mapping algorithms
can select an arbitrary line to be erased instead. It also gets rid of
the erase semaphore since it creates jittering for user writes.

If we have shared tags enabled, then every IO completion will trigger
a full loop of every queue belonging to a tag set, and every hardware
queue for each of those queues, even if nothing needs to be done.
This causes a massive performance regression if you have a lot of
shared devices.

Instead of doing this huge full scan on every IO, add an atomic
counter to the main queue that tracks how many hardware queues have
been marked as needing a restart. With that, we can avoid looking for
restartable queues, if we don't have to.

Max reports that this restores performance. Before this patch, 4K
IOPS was limited to 22-23K IOPS. With the patch, we are running at
950-970K IOPS.

A queue must be frozen while the mapped state of a hardware queue
is changed. Additionally, any change of the mapped state is
followed by a call to blk_mq_map_swqueue() (see also
blk_mq_init_allocated_queue() and blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues()).
Since blk_mq_map_swqueue() does not map any unmapped hardware
queue onto any software queue, no attempt will be made to run
an unmapped hardware queue. Hence issue a warning upon attempts
to run an unmapped hardware queue.

Initialization of blk-mq requests is a bit weird: blk_mq_rq_ctx_init()
is called after a value has been assigned to .rq_flags and .rq_flags
is initialized in __blk_mq_finish_request(). Initialize .rq_flags in
blk_mq_rq_ctx_init() instead of relying on __blk_mq_finish_request().
Moving the initialization of .rq_flags is fine because all changes
and tests of .rq_flags occur between blk_get_request() and finishing
a request.
