When creating the write thread, ensure that the kthread has been created
before initializing the timer responsible from kicking it. Otherwise, if
the kthread creation fails or gets killed from used space, we risk
kicking an empty thread structure.

Also, since the kthread creation can be interrupted form user space,
adapt the error path to not report an error when this happens, since it
is intentional that the instance creation is aborted.

Until now, pblk's rate-limiter has used a heuristic to reserve space for
GC I/O given that the over-provision area was fixed.

In preparation for allowing to define the over-provision area on target
creation, define a dedicated free_block counter in the rate-limiter to
track the number of blocks being used for user data.

Lockdep complains about being in atomic context while freeing line
metadata - and rightly so as we take a spinlock and end up calling
vfree that might sleep(in pblk_mfree).

There is no need for holding the line manager free_lock while
freeing line metadata as the pipeline as stopped, so remove the lock.

Print the CRC of the logical-to-physical mapping during exit and
after recovering the L2P table to facilitate detection of meta
data corruption/recovery issues.

The CRC printed after recovery should match the CRC printed during
the previous exit - if it doesn't this indicates that either the meta
data written to the disk is corrupt or recovery failed.

Create a helper function that allows to kick GC without exposing the
internals of the GC/rate-limiter interaction.
