lightnvm: pblk: allocate line map bitmaps using a mempool
Line map bitmap allocations are fairly large and can fail. Allocation
failures are fatal to pblk, stopping the write pipeline. To avoid this,
allocate the bitmaps using a mempool instead.
Mempool allocations never fail if called from a process context,
and pblk *should* only allocate map bitmaps in process context,
but keep the failure handling for robustness sake.
