0184b44e32 dm cache policy mq: a few small fixes
Rename takeout_queue to concat_queue.

Fix a harmless bug in mq policies pop() function.  Currently pop()
always succeeds, with up coming changes this wont be the case.

Fix typo in comment above pre_cache_to_cache prototype.

99ba2ae4cd dm cache policy mq: protect residency method with existing mutex
It is safe to use a mutex in mq_residency() at this point since it is
only called from ioctl context.  But future-proof mq_residency() by
using might_sleep() to catch new contexts that cannot sleep.

b936bf8b78 dm cache: avoid conflicting remove_mapping() in mq policy
On sparc32, which includes <linux/swap.h> from <asm/pgtable_32.h>:

drivers/md/dm-cache-policy-mq.c:962:13: error: conflicting types for 'remove_mapping'
include/linux/swap.h:285:12: note: previous declaration of 'remove_mapping' was here

As mq_remove_mapping() already exists, and the local remove_mapping() is
used only once, inline it manually to avoid the conflict.

4e7f506f64 dm cache: policy change version from string to integer set
Separate dm cache policy version string into 3 unsigned numbers
corresponding to major, minor and patchlevel and store them at the end
of the on-disk metadata so we know which version of the policy generated
the hints in case a future version wants to use them differently.

f283635281 dm cache: add mq policy
A cache policy that uses a multiqueue ordered by recent hit
count to select which blocks should be promoted and demoted.
This is meant to be a general purpose policy.  It prioritises
reads over writes.
