This patch series fixes the(currently incomplete) write error handling
in pblk by:

  * queuing and re-submitting failed writes in the write buffer
  * evacuating valid data data in lines with write failures, so the
    chunk(s) with write failures can be reset to a known state by the fw

Lines with failures in smeta are put back on the free list.
Failed chunks will be reset on the next use.

If a write failes in emeta, the lba list is cached so the line can be
garbage collected without scanning the out-of-band area.

Changes in V2:
- Added the recov_writes counter increase to the new path
- Moved lba list emeta reading during gc to a separate function
- Allocating the saved lba list with pblk_malloc instead of kmalloc
- Fixed formatting issues
- Removed dead code
