dm cache policy smq: distribute entries to random levels when switching to smq
For smq the 32 bit 'hint' stores the multiqueue level that the entry should be stored in. If a different policy has been used previously, and then switched to smq, the hints will be invalid. In which case we used to put all entries in the bottom level of the multiqueue, and then redistribute. Redistribution is faster if we put entries with invalid hints in random levels initially.
