libnvdimm: cycle flush hints
When the NFIT provides multiple flush hint addresses per-dimm it is expressing that the platform is capable of processing multiple flush requests in parallel. There is some fixed cost per flush request, let the cost be shared in parallel on multiple cpus. Since there may not be enough flush hint addresses for each cpu to have one, keep a per-cpu index of the last used hint, hash it with current pid, and assume that access pattern and scheduler randomness will keep the flush-hint usage somewhat staggered across cpus.
