dm cache: fix problematic dual use of a single migration count variable



Introduce a new variable to count the number of allocated migration
structures.  The existing variable cache->nr_migrations became
overloaded.  It was used to:

 i) track of the number of migrations in flight for the purposes of
    quiescing during suspend.

 ii) to estimate the amount of background IO occuring.

Recent discard changes meant that REQ_DISCARD bios are processed with
a migration.  Discards are not background IO so nr_migrations was not
incremented.  However this could cause quiescing to complete early.

(i) is now handled with a new variable cache->nr_allocated_migrations.
cache->nr_migrations has been renamed cache->nr_io_migrations.
cleanup_migration() is now called free_io_migration(), since it
decrements that variable.

Also, remove the unused cache->next_migration variable that got replaced
with with prealloc_structs a while ago.
