lightnvm: pblk: set conservative threshold for user writes
In a worst-case scenario (random writes), OP% of sectors
in each line will be invalid, and we will then need
to move data out of 100/OP% lines to free a single line.
So, to prevent the possibility of running out of lines,
temporarily block user writes when there is less than
100/OP% free lines.
Also ensure that pblk creation does not produce instances
with insufficient over provisioning.
Insufficient over-provising is not a problem on real hardware,
but often an issue when running QEMU simulations (with few lines).
100 lines is enough to create a sane instance with the standard
(11%) over provisioning.
