bcache: fix sequential large write IO bypass
commit c81ffa32a214c84b08900fbc9d432187bd948eba upstream. Sequential write IOs were tested with bs=1M by FIO in writeback cache mode, these IOs were expected to be bypassed, but actually they did not. We debug the code, and find in check_should_bypass(): if (!congested && mode == CACHE_MODE_WRITEBACK && op_is_write(bio_op(bio)) && (bio->bi_opf & REQ_SYNC)) goto rescale that means, If in writeback mode, a write IO with REQ_SYNC flag will not be bypassed though it is a sequential large IO, It's not a correct thing to do actually, so this patch remove these codes.
