Subject: [GIT PULL 19/20] lightnvm: pblk: add possibility to set write buffer size manually

From: Marcin Dziegielewski <marcin.dziegielewski@...el.com>

In some cases, users can want set write buffer size manually, e.g. to
adjust it to specific workload. This patch provides the possibility
to set write buffer size via module parameter feature.
