When a new cluster is added to a thin provisioned blob,
md_page is allocated to update extents in base dev
This memory allocation reduces perfromance, it can
take 250usec - 1 msec on ARM platform.
Since we may have only 1 outstainding cluster
allocation per io_channel, we can preallcoate md_page
on each channel and remove dynamic memory allocation.
With this change blob_write_extent_page() expects
that md_page is given by the caller. Sicne this function
is also used during snapshot deletion, this patch also
updates this process. Now we allocate a single page
and reuse it for each extent in the snapshot.
