dm cache: add remove_cblock method to policy interface
Implement policy_remove_cblock() and add remove_cblock method to the mq policy. These methods will be used by the following cache block invalidation patch which adds the 'invalidate_cblocks' message to the cache core. Also, update some comments in dm-cache-policy.h Signed-off-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>
