lightnvm: manage open and closed blocks separately LightNVM targets need to know the state of the flash block when doing flash optimizations. An example is implementing a write buffer to respect the flash page size. Currently, block state is not accounted for; the media manager only differentiates among free, bad and in-use blocks. This patch adds the logic in the generic media manager to enable targets manage blocks into open and close separately, and it implements such management in rrpc. It also adds a set of flags to describe the state of the block (open, closed, free, bad). In order to avoid taking two locks (nvm_lun and rrpc_lun) consecutively, we introduce lockless get_/put_block primitives so that the open and close list locks and future common logic is handled within the nvm_lun lock.
