At the moment, we separate the closed lines on three different list
based on their number of valid sectors. GC recycles lines from each list
based on capacity. Lines from each list are taken in a FIFO fashion.
Since the number of lines is limited (it corresponds to the number of
blocks in a LUN, which is somewhere between 1000-2000), we can afford
scanning the lists to choose the optimal line to be recycled. This helps
specially in lines with a high number of valid sectors.
If the number of blocks per LUN increases, we will consider a more
efficient policy.

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.

This fixes up two commits that have touched this driver. The
command status field is now a blk_status_t, so we can't check
for < 0 and we definitely can't assume it's holding -Exxxx error
values. All we care about here is whether ->status is zero or not.
Check for that, and remove the various attempts at smart error
reporting. Just log to dmesg what command failed, and the
blk_status_t value.

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.
