Rather than storing the cblock in each cache entry, we allocate all
entries in an array and infer the cblock from the entry position.

Saves 4 bytes of memory per cache block.  In addition, this gives us an
easy way of looking up cache entries by cblock.

We no longer need to keep an explicit bitset to track which cblocks
have been allocated.  And no searching is needed to find free cblocks.

Previously these promotions only got priority if there were unused cache
blocks.  Now we give them priority if there are any clean blocks in the
cache.

The fio_soak_test in the device-mapper-test-suite now gives uniform
performance across subvolumes (~16 seconds).

There are now two multiqueues for in cache blocks.  A clean one and a
dirty one.

writeback_work comes from the dirty one.  Demotions come from the clean
one.

There are two benefits:
- Performance improvement, since demoting a clean block is a noop.
- The cache cleans itself when io load is light.

Rename takeout_queue to concat_queue.

Fix a harmless bug in mq policies pop() function.  Currently pop()
always succeeds, with up coming changes this wont be the case.

Fix typo in comment above pre_cache_to_cache prototype.

It is safe to use a mutex in mq_residency() at this point since it is
only called from ioctl context.  But future-proof mq_residency() by
using might_sleep() to catch new contexts that cannot sleep.

On sparc32, which includes <linux/swap.h> from <asm/pgtable_32.h>:

drivers/md/dm-cache-policy-mq.c:962:13: error: conflicting types for 'remove_mapping'
include/linux/swap.h:285:12: note: previous declaration of 'remove_mapping' was here

As mq_remove_mapping() already exists, and the local remove_mapping() is
used only once, inline it manually to avoid the conflict.

Separate dm cache policy version string into 3 unsigned numbers
corresponding to major, minor and patchlevel and store them at the end
of the on-disk metadata so we know which version of the policy generated
the hints in case a future version wants to use them differently.

A cache policy that uses a multiqueue ordered by recent hit
count to select which blocks should be promoted and demoted.
This is meant to be a general purpose policy.  It prioritises
reads over writes.
