Mingzhe Zou f0854489fc bcache: fixup btree_cache_wait list damage
We get a kernel crash about "list_add corruption. next->prev should be
prev (ffff9c801bc01210), but was ffff9c77b688237c.
(next=ffffae586d8afe68)."

bch_btree_check_thread() and bch_dirty_init_thread() may call
mca_cannibalize() to cannibalize other cached btree nodes. Only one thread
can do it at a time, so the op of other threads will be added to the
btree_cache_wait list.

We must call finish_wait() to remove op from btree_cache_wait before free
it's memory address. Otherwise, the list will be damaged. Also should call
bch_cannibalize_unlock() to release the btree_cache_alloc_lock and wake_up
other waiters.

Fixes: b144e45fc5 ("bcache: make bch_sectors_dirty_init() to be multithreaded")

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
