Subject: [V3 PATCH 0/2] lightnvm: pblk: take write semaphore on metadata

# Changes since V2:
  - Split the original patch between the metadata refactoring and the
    semaphore logic. This simplifies the write path, where the semaphore
    is taken.

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

This patchset refactors the metadata separate write and read paths,
which simplifies how the semaphore is taken for writes.

Thanks,
Javier
