pblk maintains two different metadata paths for smeta and emeta, which store metadata at the start of the line and at the end of the line, respectively. Until now, these path has been common for writing and retrieving metadata, however, as these paths diverge, the common code becomes less clear and unnecessary complicated. In preparation for further changes to the metadata write path, this patch separates the write and read paths for smeta and emeta and removes the synchronous emeta path as it not used anymore (emeta is scheduled asynchronously to prevent jittering due to internal I/Os).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
