a690d16d29 writecache: use cleaner message instead of table reload
When detaching writecache, make the first stage send a message
to dm-writecache to set the cleaner option.  This is instead of
reloading the dm table with the cleaner option set.  Reloading
the table causes udev to process/probe the dm dev, which gets
stalled because of the writeback activity, and the stalled udev
in turn stalls the lvconvert command when it tries to sync with
udev events.

When getting writecache status we do not need to get
open_count or read_head info, which can cause extra steps.

c32d7fed4f writecache: use two step detach
When detaching a writecache, use the cleaner setting
by default to writeback data prior to suspending the
lv to detach the writecache.  This avoids potentially
blocking for a long period with the device suspended.

Detaching a writecache first sets the cleaner option, waits
for a short period of time (less than a second), and checks
if the writecache has quickly become clean.  If so, the
writecache is detached immediately.  This optimizes the case
where little writeback is needed.

If the writecache does not quickly become clean, then the
detach command leaves the writecache attached with the
cleaner option set.  This leaves the LV in the same state
as if the user had set the cleaner option directly with
lvchange --cachesettings cleaner=1 LV.

After leaving the LV with the cleaner option set, the
detach command will wait and watch the writeback progress,
and will finally detach the writecache when the writeback
is finished.  The detach command does not need to wait
during the writeback phase, and can be canceled, in which
case the LV will remain with the writecache attached and
the cleaner option set.  When the user runs the detach
command again it will complete the detach.

To detach a writecache directly, without using the cleaner
step (which has been the approach previously), add the
option --cachesettings cleaner=0 to the detach command.
