In __bch_bucket_alloc_set() the lines after lable 'err:' indeed do
nothing useful after multiple cache devices are removed from bcache
code. This cleanup patch drops the useless code to save a bit CPU
cycles.

<title>bcache: call force_wake_up_gc() if necessary in check_should_bypass()</title>

If there are extreme heavy write I/O continuously hit on relative small
cache device (512GB in my testing), it is possible to make counter
c-&gt;gc_stats.in_use continue to increase and exceed CUTOFF_CACHE_ADD.

If 'c-&gt;gc_stats.in_use &gt; CUTOFF_CACHE_ADD' happens, all following write
requests will bypass the cache device because check_should_bypass()
returns 'true'. Because all writes bypass the cache device, counter
c-&gt;sectors_to_gc has no chance to be negative value, and garbage
collection thread won't be waken up even the whole cache becomes clean
after writeback accomplished. The aftermath is that all write I/Os go
directly into backing device even the cache device is clean.

To avoid the above situation, this patch uses a quite conservative way
to fix: if 'c-&gt;gc_stats.in_use &gt; CUTOFF_CACHE_ADD' happens, only wakes
up garbage collection thread when the whole cache device is clean.

Before the fix, the writes-always-bypass situation happens after 10+
hours write I/O pressure on 512GB Intel optane memory which acts as
cache device. After this fix, such situation doesn't happen after 36+
hours testing.

<title>bcache: allow allocator to invalidate bucket in gc</title>

Currently, if the gc is running, when the allocator found free_inc
is empty, allocator has to wait the gc finish. Before that, the
IO is blocked.

But actually, there would be some buckets is reclaimable before gc,
and gc will never mark this kind of bucket to be unreclaimable.

So we can put these buckets into free_inc in gc running to avoid
IO being blocked.

<title>bcache: fix variable length array abuse in btree_iter</title>

<content type='text'>
btree_iter is used in two ways: either allocated on the stack with a
fixed size MAX_BSETS, or from a mempool with a dynamic size based on the
specific cache set. Previously, the struct had a fixed-length array of
size MAX_BSETS which was indexed out-of-bounds for the dynamically-sized
iterators, which causes UBSAN to complain.

This patch uses the same approach as in bcachefs's sort_iter and splits
the iterator into a btree_iter with a flexible array member and a
btree_iter_stack which embeds a btree_iter as well as a fixed-length
data array.

ida_alloc() and ida_free() should be preferred to the deprecated
ida_simple_get() and ida_simple_remove().

Note that the upper limit of ida_simple_get() is exclusive, but the one of
ida_alloc_max() is inclusive. So a -1 has been added when needed.

We are not using __bread() anymore and read_cache_page_gfp() doesn't
care about block size.  Moreover, we should *not* change block
size on a device that is currently held exclusive - filesystems
that use buffer cache expect the block numbers to be interpreted
in units set by filesystem.
