Joe Thornber 33096a7822 dm bufio: evict buffers that are past the max age but retain some buffers
These changes help keep metadata backed by dm-bufio in-core longer which
fixes reports of metadata churn in the face of heavy random IO workloads.

Before, bufio evicted all buffers older than DM_BUFIO_DEFAULT_AGE_SECS.
Having a device (e.g. dm-thinp or dm-cache) lose all metadata just
because associated buffers had been idle for some time is unfriendly.

Now, the user may now configure the number of bytes that bufio retains
using the 'retain_bytes' module parameter.  The default is 256K.

Also, the DM_BUFIO_WORK_TIMER_SECS and DM_BUFIO_DEFAULT_AGE_SECS
defaults were quite low so increase them (to 30 and 300 respectively).
