Dongsheng Yang df4ad53242 bcache: fix race between setting bdev state to none and new write request direct to backing
There is a race condition in detaching as below:
A. detaching			B. Write request
(1) writing back
(2) write back done, set bdev
    state to clean.
(3) cached_dev_put() and
    schedule_work(&dc->detach);
				(4) write data [0 - 4K] directly
				    into backing and ack to user.
(5) power-failure...

When we restart this bcache device, this bdev is clean but not detached,
and read [0 - 4K], we will get unexpected old data from cache device.

To fix this problem, set the bdev state to none when we writeback done
in detaching, and then if power-failure happened as above, the data in
cache will not be used in next bcache device starting, it's detached, we
will read the correct data from backing derectly.
