[ Upstream commit 2ee73ef60db4d79b9f9b8cd501e8188b5179449f ]
Change dm-writecache, so that it counts the number of blocks discarded
instead of the number of discard bios. Make it consistent with the
read and write statistics counters that were changed to count the
number of blocks instead of bios.

Change dm-writecache, so that it counts the number of blocks written
instead of the number of write bios. Bios can be split and requeued
using the dm_accept_partial_bio function, so counting bios caused
inaccurate results.

Add 10 counters for various events (hit, miss, etc) and export them in
the status line (accessed from userspace with "dmsetup status"). Also
add a message "clear_stats" that resets these counters.

Commit 95b88f4d71 ("dm writecache: pause
writeback if cache full and origin being written directly") introduced a
code that pauses cache flushing if we are issuing writes directly to the
origin.
Improve that initial commit by making the timeout code configurable
(via the option "pause_writeback"). Also change the default from 1s to
3s because it performed better.

Add a "metadata_only" parameter that when present: only metadata is
promoted to the cache. This option improves performance for heavier
REQ_META workloads (e.g. device-mapper-test-suite's "git clone and
checkout" benchmark improves from 341s to 312s).
