lightnvm: pblk: choose optimal victim GC line
At the moment, we separate the closed lines on three different list
based on their number of valid sectors. GC recycles lines from each list
based on capacity. Lines from each list are taken in a FIFO fashion.
Since the number of lines is limited (it corresponds to the number of
blocks in a LUN, which is somewhere between 1000-2000), we can afford
scanning the lists to choose the optimal line to be recycled. This helps
specially in lines with a high number of valid sectors.
If the number of blocks per LUN increases, we will consider a more
efficient policy.
