The discard granularity now defaults to a single sector, so don't set
that value explicitly.

Just like all block I/O, discards are in units of sectors.  Thus setting a
smaller than sector size discard limit in case of &gt; 512 byte sectors in
bcache doesn't make sense.  Always set the discard granularity to 512
bytes instead.

Commit 028ddcac477b ("bcache: Remove unnecessary NULL point check in
node allocations") replaced IS_ERR_OR_NULL by IS_ERR. This leads to a
NULL pointer dereference.

<content type='text'>
Control flow integrity is now checking that type signatures match on
indirect function calls. That breaks closures, which embed a work_struct
in a closure in such a way that a closure_fn may also be used as a
workqueue fn by the underlying closure code.

So we have to change closure fns to take a work_struct as their
argument - but that results in a loss of clarity, as closure fns have
different semantics from normal workqueue functions (they run owning a
ref on the closure, which must be released with continue_at() or
closure_return()).

Thus, this patc introduces CLOSURE_CALLBACK() and closure_type() macros
as suggested by Kees, to smooth things over a bit.

Control flow integrity is now checking that type signatures match on
indirect function calls. That breaks closures, which embed a work_struct
in a closure in such a way that a closure_fn may also be used as a
workqueue fn by the underlying closure code.

<title>bcache: avoid NULL checking to c-&gt;root in run_cache_set()</title>

In run_cache_set() after c-&gt;root returned from bch_btree_node_get(), it
is checked by IS_ERR_OR_NULL(). Indeed it is unncessary to check NULL
because bch_btree_node_get() will not return NULL pointer to caller.

This patch replaces IS_ERR_OR_NULL() by IS_ERR() for the above reason.

This patch adds code comments to bch_btree_node_get() and
__bch_btree_node_alloc() that NULL pointer will not be returned and it
is unnecessary to check NULL pointer by the callers of these routines.

<title>bcache: replace a mistaken IS_ERR() by IS_ERR_OR_NULL() in btree_gc_coalesce()</title>

Commit 028ddcac477b ("bcache: Remove unnecessary NULL point check in
node allocations") do the following change inside btree_gc_coalesce(),

At line 35 the original r[nodes].b is not always allocatored from
__bch_btree_node_alloc(), and possibly initialized as NULL pointer by
caller of btree_gc_coalesce(). Therefore the change at line 36 is not
correct.

This patch replaces the mistaken IS_ERR() by IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to avoid
potential issue.
