These are the 7th version of patches to enable write cache part of
raid5-cache. The journal part was released with kernel 4.4.

The caching part uses same disk format of raid456 journal, and provides
acceleration to writes. Write operations are committed (bio_endio) once
the data is secured in journal. Reconstruct and RMW are postponed to
writing-out phase, which is usually not on the critical path.

The changes are organized in 10 patches (details below).

Patch for chunk_aligned_read in earlier RFC is not included yet
(http://marc.info/?l=linux-raid&m=146432700719277). But we may still need
some optimizations later, especially for SSD raid devices.

Changes between v7 and v6 (http://marc.info/?l=linux-raid&m=147881079931937):
 1. Incorprate feedbacks;
 2. Modify representation of write-back state machine to use STRIPE_R5C_CACHING
    instead of STRIPE_R5C_WRITE_OUT. This reduces state trasitions in
    write-through mode;
 3. For prexor, allocate extra orig_page instead of page;
 4. Rename and refactor of some functions and variables;
 5. Remove path 11 (handle alloc_page failure). I will propose a simpler retry
    patch later.
