[Huaisheng Ye]

From: Huaisheng Ye <yehs1 at lenovo.com>

This patch set could be used for dm-writecache when use persistent
memory as cache data device.

Patch 1 and 2 go towards removing unused parameter and codes which
actually doesn't really work.

Patch 3 and 4 are targeted at solving problem fn ctr failed to work
due to invalid magic or version, which is caused by the super block
of pmem has messy data stored.

Changes Since v1:
	- add optional parameter reinit to avoid invalid magic or
	  version.
