This patch changes the approach to handling partial read path.
In old approach merging of data from round buffer and drive was fully
made by drive. This had some disadvantages - code was complex and
relies on bio internals, so it was hard to maintain and was strongly
dependent on bio changes.
In new approach most of the handling is done mostly by block layer
functions such as bio_split(), bio_chain() and generic_make request()
and generally is less complex and easier to maintain. Below some more
details of the new approach.
When read bio arrives, it is cloned for pblk internal purposes. All
the L2P mapping, which includes copying data from round buffer to bio
and thus bio_advance() calls is done on the cloned bio, so the original
bio is untouched. If we found that we have partial read case, we
still have original bio untouched, so we can split it and continue to
process only first part of it in current context, when the rest will be
called as separate bio request which is passed to generic_make_request()
for further processing.

This patch is made in order to prepare read path for new approach to
partial read handling, which is simpler in compare with previous one.
The most important change is to move the handling of completed and
failed bio from the pblk_make_rq() to particular read and write
functions. This is needed, since after partial read path changes,
sometimes completed/failed bio will be different from original one, so
we cannot do this any longer in pblk_make_rq().
Other changes are small read path refactor in order to reduce the size
of the following patch with partial read changes.
Generally the goal of this patch is not to change the functionality,
but just to prepare the code for the following changes.

This patch fixes a race condition where a write is mapped to the last
sectors of a line. The write is synced to the device but the L2P is not
updated yet. When the line is garbage collected before the L2P update
is performed, the sectors are ignored by the GC logic and the line is
freed before all sectors are moved. When the L2P is finally updated, it
contains a mapping to a freed line, subsequent reads of the
corresponding LBAs fail.
This patch introduces a per line counter specifying the number of

In order to respect mw_cuinits, pblk's write buffer maintains a
backpointer to protect data not yet persisted; when writing to the write
buffer, this backpointer defines a threshold that pblk's rate-limiter
enforces.
On small PU configurations, the following scenarios might take place: (i)
the threshold is larger than the write buffer and (ii) the threshold is
smaller than the write buffer, but larger than the maximun allowed
split bio - 256KB at this moment (Note that writes are not always
split - we only do this when we the size of the buffer is smaller
than the buffer). In both cases, pblk's rate-limiter prevents the I/O to
be written to the buffer, thus stalling.
This patch fixes the original backpointer implementation by considering
the threshold both on buffer creation and on the rate-limiters path,
when bio_split is triggered (case (ii) above).

pblk's write buffer must guarantee that it respects the device's
constrains for reads (i.e., mw_cunits). This is done by maintaining a
backpointer that updates the L2P table as entries wrap up, making them
point to the media instead of pointing to the write buffer.
This mechanism can race in case that the write thread stalls, as the
write pointer will protect the last written entry, thus disregarding the
read constrains.
This patch adds an extra check on wrap up, making sure that the
threshold is respected at all times, preventing new entries to overwrite

manually detecting if a chunk is either free/open/close/offline, and if
open, scanning the flash pages sequentially to find the next writeable
page. This process takes on average ~10 seconds on a device with 64 dies,
1024 blocks and 60us read access time. The process can be parallelized
