The commit 4c39529663 adds a warning about duplicate cache names if
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is selected. These warnings are triggered by the dm-cache
code.
The dm-cache code allocates a slab cache for each device. This commit
changes it to allocate just one slab cache in the module init function.

Fixes: 4c39529663 ("slab: Warn on duplicate cache names when DEBUG_VM=y")
'GPL-2.0-only' is used instead of 'GPL-2.0' because SPDX has
deprecated its use.

The cache policy interfaces have been updated to work well with the new
bio-prison v2 interface's ability to queue work immediately (promotion,
demotion, etc) -- overriding benefit being reduced latency on processing
IO through the cache. Previously such work would be left for the DM
cache core to queue on various lists and then process in batches later
-- this caused a serious delay in latency for IO driven by the cache.
The background tracker code was factored out so that all cache policies
can make use of it.
Also, the "cleaner" policy has been removed and is now a variant of the
smq policy that simply disallows migrations.
