Write failures should not happen under normal circumstances,
so in order to bring the chunk back into a known state as soon
as possible, evacuate all the valid data out of the line and let the
fw judge if the block can be written to in the next reset cycle.

Do this by introducing a new gc list for lines with failed writes,
and ensure that the rate limiter allocates a small portion of
the write bandwidth to get the job done.

The lba list is saved in memory for use during gc as we
cannot gurantee that the emeta data is readable if a write
error occurred.

The write error recovery path is incomplete, so rework
the write error recovery handling to do resubmits directly
from the write buffer.

When a write error occurs, the remaining sectors in the chunk are
mapped out and invalidated and the request inserted in a resubmit list.

The writer thread checks if there are any requests to resubmit,
scans and invalidates any lbas that have been overwritten by later
writes and resubmits the failed entries.

When pblk receives a sync, all data up to that point in the write buffer
must be comitted to persistent storage, and as flash memory comes with a
minimal write size there is a significant cost involved both in terms
of time for completing the sync and in terms of write amplification
padded sectors for filling up to the minimal write size.

In order to get a better understanding of the costs involved for syncs,
Add a sysfs attribute to pblk: padded_dist, showing a normalized
distribution of sectors padded. In order to facilitate measurements of
specific workloads during the lifetime of the pblk instance, the
distribution can be reset by writing 0 to the attribute.

Do this by introducing counters for each possible padding:
{0..(minimal write size - 1)} and calculate the normalized distribution
when showing the attribute.

In a SSD, write amplification, WA, is defined as the average
number of page writes per user page write. Write amplification
negatively affects write performance and decreases the lifetime
of the disk, so it's a useful metric to add to sysfs.

In plkb's case, the number of writes per user sector is the sum of:

    (1) number of user writes
    (2) number of sectors written by the garbage collector
    (3) number of sectors padded (i.e. due to syncs)

This patch adds persistent counters for 1-3 and two sysfs attributes
to export these along with WA calculated with five decimals:

    write_amp_mileage: the accumulated write amplification stats
                      for the lifetime of the pblk instance

    write_amp_trip: resetable stats to facilitate delta measurements,
                    values reset at creation and if 0 is written
                    to the attribute.

64-bit counters are used as a 32 bit counter would wrap around
already after about 17 TB worth of user data. It will take a
long long time before the 64 bit sector counters wrap around.

The counters are stored after the bad block bitmap in the first
emeta sector of each written line. There is plenty of space in the
first emeta sector, so we don't need to bump the major version of
the line data format.

As a preparation for future bumps of data line persistent storage
versions, we need to start checking the emeta line version during
recovery. Also slit up the current emeta/smeta version into two
bytes (major,minor).

Recovering lines with the same major number as the current pblk data
line version must succeed. This means that any changes in the
persistent format must be:

 (1) Backward compatible: if we switch back to and older
     kernel, recovery of lines stored with major == current_major
     and minor > current_minor must succeed.

 (2) Forward compatible: switching to a newer kernel,
     recovery of lines stored with major=current_major and
     minor < minor must handle the data format differences
     gracefully(i.e. initialize new data structures to default values).

If we detect lines that have a different major number than
the current we must abort recovery. The user must manually
migrate the data in this case.

Previously the version stored in the emeta header was copied
from smeta, which has version 1, so we need to set the minor
version to 1.

Metadata I/Os are scheduled to minimize their impact on user data I/Os.
When there are enough LUNs instantiated (i.e., enough bandwidth), it is
easy to interleave metadata and data one after the other so that
metadata I/Os are the ones being blocked and not vice-versa.

We do this by calculating the distance between the I/Os in terms of the
LUNs that are not in used, and selecting a free LUN that satisfies a
the simple heuristic that metadata is scheduled behind. The per-LUN
semaphores guarantee consistency. This works fine on >1 LUN
configuration. However, when a single LUN is instantiated, this design
leads to a deadlock, where metadata waits to be scheduled on a free LUN.

This patch implements the 1 LUN case by simply scheduling the metadada
I/O after the data I/O. In the process, we refactor the way a line is
replaced to ensure that metadata writes are submitted after data writes
in order to guarantee block sequentiality. Note that, since there is
only one LUN, both I/Os will block each other by design. However, such
configuration only pursues tight read latencies, not write bandwidth.
