drbd: add caching oldest request pointers for replication stages

A request that is to be shipped to the peer goes through a few stages:
- queued
- sent, waiting for ack
- ack received, waiting for "barrier ack", which is re-order epoch being
  closed on the peer by acknowledging a "cache flush" equivalent
  on the lower level device.

In the later two stages, depending on protocol, we may have already
completed this request to the upper layers, so it won't be found anymore
on device->pending_master_completion[] lists.

Track the oldest request yet to be sent (req_next), the oldest not yet
acknowledged (req_ack_pending) and the oldest "still waiting for
something from the peer" (req_not_net_done), doing short list walks on
the transfer log to find the next pending one whenever such a request
makes progress.

Now we have a fast way to look up the oldest requests,
don't do a transfer log walk every time.
