raid5-ppl: Partial Parity Log write logging implementation

Implement the calculation of partial parity for a stripe and PPL write
logging functionality. The description of PPL is added to the
documentation. More details can be found in the comments in raid5-ppl.c.

Attach a page for holding the partial parity data to stripe_head.
Allocate it only if mddev has the MD_HAS_PPL flag set.

Partial parity is the xor of not modified data chunks of a stripe and is
calculated as follows:

- reconstruct-write case:
  xor data from all not updated disks in a stripe

- read-modify-write case:
  xor old data and parity from all updated disks in a stripe

Implement it using the async_tx API and integrate into raid_run_ops().
It must be called when we still have access to old data, so do it when
STRIPE_OP_BIODRAIN is set, but before ops_run_prexor5(). The result is
stored into sh->ppl_page.

Partial parity is not meaningful for full stripe write and is not stored
in the log or used for recovery, so don't attempt to calculate it when
stripe has STRIPE_FULL_WRITE.

Put the PPL metadata structures to md_p.h because userspace tools
(mdadm) will also need to read/write PPL.

Warn about using PPL with enabled disk volatile write-back cache for
now. It can be removed once disk cache flushing before writing PPL is
implemented.

+/*
+ * PPL consists of a 4KB header (struct ppl_header) and at least 128KB for
+ * partial parity data. The header contains an array of entries
+ * (struct ppl_header_entry) which describe the logged write requests.
+ * Partial parity for the entries comes after the header, written in the same
+ * sequence as the entries:
+ *
+ * Header
+ *   entry0
+ *   ...
+ *   entryN
+ * PP data
+ *   PP for entry0
+ *   ...
+ *   PP for entryN
+ *
+ * An entry describes one or more consecutive stripe_heads, up to a full
+ * stripe. The modifed raid data chunks form an m-by-n matrix, where m is the
+ * number of stripe_heads in the entry and n is the number of modified data
+ * disks. Every stripe_head in the entry must write to the same data disks.
+ * An example of a valid case described by a single entry (writes to the first
+ * stripe of a 4 disk array, 16k chunk size):
+ *
+ * sh->sector   dd0   dd1   dd2    ppl
+ *            +-----+-----+-----+
+ * 0          | --- | --- | --- | +----+
+ * 8          | -W- | -W- | --- | | pp |   data_sector = 8
+ * 16         | -W- | -W- | --- | | pp |   data_size = 3 * 2 * 4k
+ * 24         | -W- | -W- | --- | | pp |   pp_size = 3 * 4k
+ *            +-----+-----+-----+ +----+
+ *
+ * data_sector is the first raid sector of the modified data, data_size is the
+ * total size of modified data and pp_size is the size of partial parity for
+ * this entry. Entries for full stripe writes contain no partial parity
+ * (pp_size = 0), they only mark the stripes for which parity should be
+ * recalculated after an unclean shutdown. Every entry holds a checksum of its
+ * partial parity, the header also has a checksum of the header itself.
+ *
+ * A write request is always logged to the PPL instance stored on the parity
+ * disk of the corresponding stripe. For each member disk there is one ppl_log
+ * used to handle logging for this disk, independently from others. They are
+ * grouped in child_logs array in struct ppl_conf, which is assigned to
+ * r5conf->log_private.
+ *
+ * ppl_io_unit represents a full PPL write, header_page contains the ppl_header.
+ * PPL entries for logged stripes are added in ppl_log_stripe(). A stripe_head
+ * can be appended to the last entry if it meets the conditions for a valid
+ * entry described above, otherwise a new entry is added. Checksums of entries
+ * are calculated incrementally as stripes containing partial parity are being
+ * added. ppl_submit_iounit() calculates the checksum of the header and submits
+ * a bio containing the header page and partial parity pages (sh->ppl_page) for
+ * all stripes of the io_unit. When the PPL write completes, the stripes
+ * associated with the io_unit are released and raid5d starts writing their data
+ * and parity. When all stripes are written, the io_unit is freed and the next
+ * can be submitted.
+ *
+ * An io_unit is used to gather stripes until it is submitted or becomes full
+ * (if the maximum number of entries or size of PPL is reached). Another io_unit
+ * can't be submitted until the previous has completed (PPL and stripe
+ * data+parity is written). The log->io_list tracks all io_units of a log
+ * (for a single member disk). New io_units are added to the end of the list
+ * and the first io_unit is submitted, if it is not submitted already.
+ * The current io_unit accepting new stripes is always at the end of the list.
