raid5-ppl: Partial Parity Log write logging implementation
Implement the calculation of partial parity for a stripe and PPL write
logging functionality. The description of PPL is added to the
documentation. More details can be found in the comments in raid5-ppl.c.

Attach a page for holding the partial parity data to stripe_head.
Allocate it only if mddev has the MD_HAS_PPL flag set.

Partial parity is the xor of not modified data chunks of a stripe and is
calculated as follows:

- reconstruct-write case:
  xor data from all not updated disks in a stripe

- read-modify-write case:
  xor old data and parity from all updated disks in a stripe

Implement it using the async_tx API and integrate into raid_run_ops().
It must be called when we still have access to old data, so do it when
STRIPE_OP_BIODRAIN is set, but before ops_run_prexor5(). The result is
stored into sh->ppl_page.

Partial parity is not meaningful for full stripe write and is not stored
in the log or used for recovery, so don't attempt to calculate it when
stripe has STRIPE_FULL_WRITE.

Put the PPL metadata structures to md_p.h because userspace tools
(mdadm) will also need to read/write PPL.

Warn about using PPL with enabled disk volatile write-back cache for
now. It can be removed once disk cache flushing before writing PPL is
implemented.
