gc_gen was a temporary used to recalculate last_gc, but since we only need
bucket-&gt;last_gc when gc isn't running (gc_mark_valid = 1), we can just update
last_gc directly.

This was originally added as at optimization that for various reasons isn't
needed anymore, but it does add a lot of nasty corner cases (and it was
responsible for some recently fixed bugs). Just get rid of it now.

<title>bcache: Rework btree cache reserve handling</title>

This changes the bucket allocation reserves to use _real_ reserves - separate
freelists - instead of watermarks, which if nothing else makes the current code
saner to reason about and is going to be important in the future when we add
support for multiple btrees.

It also adds btree_check_reserve(), which checks (and locks) the reserves for
both bucket allocation and memory allocation for btree nodes; the old code just
kinda sorta assumed that since (e.g. for btree node splits) it had the root
locked and that meant no other threads could try to make use of the same
reserve; this technically should have been ok for memory allocation (we should
always have a reserve for memory allocation (the btree node cache is used as a
reserve and we preallocate it)), but multiple btrees will mean that locking the
root won't be sufficient anymore, and for the bucket allocation reserve it was
technically possible for the old code to deadlock.

With the locking rework in the last patch, this shouldn't be needed anymore -
btree_node_write_work() only takes b-&gt;write_lock which is never held for very
long.

Add a new lock, b-&gt;write_lock, which is required to actually modify - or write -
a btree node; this lock is only held for short durations.

This means we can write out a btree node without taking b-&gt;lock, which _is_ held
for long durations - solving a deadlock when btree_flush_write() (from the
journalling code) is called with a btree node locked.

Right now just occurs in bch_btree_set_root(), but with an upcoming journalling
rework is going to happen a lot more.

This also turns b-&gt;lock is now more of a read/intent lock instead of a
read/write lock - but not completely, since it still blocks readers. May turn it
into a real intent lock at some point in the future.

<title>bcache: Fix moving_gc deadlocking with a foreground write</title>

Deadlock happened because a foreground write slept, waiting for a bucket
to be allocated. Normally the gc would mark buckets available for invalidation.
But the moving_gc was stuck waiting for outstanding writes to complete.
These writes used the bcache_wq, the same queue foreground writes used.

This fix gives moving_gc its own work queue, so it was still finish moving
even if foreground writes are stuck waiting for allocation. It also makes
work queue a parameter to the data_insert path, so moving_gc can use its
workqueue for writes.
