[PATCH] lightnvm: pblk: recover chunk state on 1.2 devices

[Javier GonzÃlez]

The Open-Channel 1.2 spec does not define a mechanism for the host to
recover the block (chunk) state. As a consequence, a newly format device
will need to reconstruct the state. Currently, pblk assumes that blocks
are not erased, which might cause double-erases in case that the device
does not protect itself against them (which is not specified in the spec
either).

This patch, reconstructs the state based on read errors. If the first
sector of a block returns and empty page (NVM_RSP_ERR_EMPTYPAGE), then
the block s marked free, i.e., erased and ready to be used
(NVM_CHK_ST_FREE). Otherwise, the block is marked as closed
(NVM_CHK_ST_CLOSED). Note that even if a block is open and not fully
written, it has to be erased in order to be used again.

One caveat of this approach is that blocks that have been erased at a
moment in time, will always be considered as erased. However, some media
might become unstable if blocks are not erased before usage. Since pblk
would follow this principle after the state of all blocks fall under
pblk's domain, we can consider this as an initialization problem. The
trade-off would be to fall back to the old behavior and risk premature
media wearing.
