[GIT PULL 17/18] lightnvm: pblk: add possibility to set write buffer size manually

[Matias BjÃrling]

From: Marcin Dziegielewski <marcin.dziegielewski@xxxxxxxxx>

In some cases, users can want set write buffer size manually, e.g. to
adjust it to specific workload. This patch provides the possibility
to set write buffer size via module parameter feature.
