[PATCH V2] lightnvm: pblk: stop recreating global caches

[Hans Holmberg]

From: Hans Holmberg <hans.holmberg@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Pblk should not create a set of global caches every time
a pblk instance is created. The global caches should be
made available only when there is one or more pblk instances.

This patch bundles the global caches together with a kref
keeping track of whether the caches should be available or not.

Also, turn the global pblk lock into a mutex that explicitly
protects the caches (as this was the only purpose of the lock).

Signed-off-by: Hans Holmberg <hans.holmberg@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Changes in V2:
	* Turned the pblk global lock into a mutex protecting the
	  caches struct.
	* Renamed the global caches to pblk_caches
	* Refactored pblk_get_global_caches to handle only refcounting
 	  and locking.
