lightnvm: pblk: recover open lines on 2.0 devices
In the OCSSD 2.0 spec, each chunk reports its write pointer. This means that pblk does not need to scan open lines to find the write pointer, but instead, it can retrieve it directly (and verify it). This patch uses the write pointer on open lines to (i) recover the line up until the last written lba and (ii) reconstruct the map bitmap and rest of line metadata so that the line can be used for new data. Since the 1.2 path in lightnvm core has been re-implemented to populate the chunk structure and thus recover the write pointer on initialization, this patch removes 1.2 specific recovery, as the 2.0 path can be reused.
