Btrfs: heuristic: add bucket and sample counters and other defines
Add basic defines and structures for data sampling. Added macros: - For future sampling algo - For bucket size Heuristic workspace: - Add bucket for storing byte type counters - Add sample array for storing partial copy of input data range - Add counter for store current sample size to workspace Signed-off-by: Timofey Titovets <nefelim4ag@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com> [ minor coding style fixes, comments updated ] Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
