This patchet's main motivation is to account for a corner case in which
the read constrains imposed by the device are not respected by pblk. In
the process, it also refactors parts of the read ring buffer to simplify
creation/deletion operations and improve readability.

Note that the checkpatch warnings on missing comments for memory
barriers are false positives.

The code is also available in the for-4.20/pblk branch in the OCSSD github
project.

Thanks,
Javier

pblk's read/write buffer is always a power-of-2, thus wrapping up the
buffer can be done with a bit mask. Since this is an implementation
detail internal to the write buffer, make a helper that hides pointer
increment + wrap, and allows to  transparently relax this assumption in
the future.

pblk's read/write buffer currently takes a buffer and its size and uses
it to create the metadata around it to use it as a ring buffer. This
puts the responsibility of allocating/freeing ring buffer memory on the
ring buffer user. Instead, move it inside of the ring buffer helpers
(pblk-rb.c). This simplifies creation/destruction routines.

OCSSD 2.0 defines the amount of data that the host must buffer per chunk
to guarantee reads through the geometry field mw_cunits. This value is
the base that pblk uses to determine the size of its read buffer.
Currently, this size is set to be the closes power-of-2 to mw_cunits
times the number of parallel units available to the pblk instance for
each open line (currently one). When an entry (4KB) is put in the
buffer, the L2P table points to it. As the buffer wraps up, the L2P is
updated to point to addresses on the device, thus guaranteeing mw_cunits
at a chunk level.

However, given that pblk cannot write to the device under ws_min
(normally ws_opt), there might be a window in which the buffer starts
wrapping up and updating L2P entries before the mw_cunits value in a
chunk has been surpassed.

In order not to violate the mw_cunits constrain in this case, account
for ws_opt on the read buffer creation.
