[PATCH V2] lightnvm: pblk: take write semaphore on metadata

["Javier González" <javier@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

# Changes singe V1:
  - Fix double I/O on the read path (by Matias)
  - Improve commit message (by Jens)

pblk guarantees write ordering at a chunk level through a per open chunk
semaphore. At this point, since we only have an open I/O stream for both
user and GC data, the semaphore is per parallel unit.

Since metadata I/O is synchronous, the semaphore is not needed as
ordering is guaranteed. However, if the metadata scheme changes or
multiple streams are open, this guarantee might not be preserved.

This patch makes sure that all writes go through the semaphore, even for
synchronous I/O. This is consistent with pblk's write I/O model. It also
simplifies maintenance since changes in the metdatada scheme could cause
ordering issues.
