c9502ea442 bcache: Fix a sysfs splat on shutdown
If we stopped a bcache device when we were already detaching (or
something like that), bcache_device_unlink() would try to remove a
symlink from sysfs that was already gone because the bcache dev kobject
had already been removed from sysfs.

So keep track of whether we've removed stuff from sysfs.

72c270612b bcache: Write out full stripes
Now that we're tracking dirty data per stripe, we can add two
optimizations for raid5/6:

 * If a stripe is already dirty, force writes to that stripe to
   writeback mode - to help build up full stripes of dirty data

 * When flushing dirty data, preferentially write out full stripes first
   if there are any.

279afbad4e bcache: Track dirty data by stripe
To make background writeback aware of raid5/6 stripes, we first need to
track the amount of dirty data within each stripe - we do this by
breaking up the existing sectors_dirty into per stripe atomic_ts

444fc0b6b1 bcache: Initialize sectors_dirty when attaching
Previously, dirty_data wouldn't get initialized until the first garbage
collection... which was a bit of a problem for background writeback (as
the PD controller keys off of it) and also confusing for users.

This is also prep work for making background writeback aware of raid5/6
stripes.

6ded34d1a5 bcache: Improve lazy sorting
The old lazy sorting code was kind of hacky - rewrite in a way that
mathematically makes more sense; the idea is that the size of the sets
of keys in a btree node should increase by a more or less fixed ratio
from smallest to biggest.

c37511b863 bcache: Fix/revamp tracepoints
The tracepoints were reworked to be more sensible, and fixed a null
pointer deref in one of the tracepoints.

Converted some of the pr_debug()s to tracepoints - this is partly a
performance optimization; it used to be that with DEBUG or
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG pr_debug() was an empty macro; but at some point it
was changed to an empty inline function.

Some of the pr_debug() statements had rather expensive function calls as
part of the arguments, so this code was getting run unnecessarily even
on non debug kernels - in some fast paths, too.

5794351146 bcache: Refactor btree io
The most significant change is that btree reads are now done
synchronously, instead of asynchronously and doing the post read stuff
from a workqueue.

This was originally done because we can't block on IO under
generic_make_request(). But - we already have a mechanism to punt cache
lookups to workqueue if needed, so if we just use that we don't have to
deal with the complexity of doing things asynchronously.

The main benefit is this makes the locking situation saner; we can hold
our write lock on the btree node until we're finished reading it, and we
don't need that btree_node_read_done() flag anymore.

Also, for writes, btree_write() was broken out into btree_node_write()
and btree_leaf_dirty() - the old code with the boolean argument was dumb
and confusing.

The prio_blocked mechanism was improved a bit too, now the only counter
is in struct btree_write, we don't mess with transfering a count from
struct btree anymore.

This required changing garbage collection to block prios at the start
and unblock when it finishes, which is cleaner than what it was doing
anyways (the old code had mostly the same effect, but was doing it in a
convoluted way)

And the btree iter btree_node_read_done() uses was converted to a real
mempool.
