This is potentially long running and not latency sensitive, let's get
it out of the way of other latency sensitive events.

As observed in the previous commit, the `system_wq` comes easily
congested by bcache, and this fixes a few more stalls I was observing
every once in a while.

Let's not make this `WQ_MEM_RECLAIM` as it showed to reduce performance
of boot and file system operations in my tests. Also, without
`WQ_MEM_RECLAIM`, I no longer see desktop stalls. This matches the
previous behavior as `system_wq` also does no memory reclaim:

&gt; // workqueue.c:
&gt; system_wq = alloc_workqueue("events", 0, 0);

Since bcache code was merged into mainline kerrnel, each cache set only
as one single cache in it. The multiple caches framework is here but the
code is far from completed. Considering the multiple copies of cached
data can also be stored on e.g. md raid1 devices, it is unnecessary to
support multiple caches in one cache set indeed.

The previous preparation patches fix the dependencies of explicitly
making a cache set only have single cache. Now we don't have to maintain
an embedded partial super block in struct cache_set, the in-memory super
block can be directly referenced from struct cache.

This patch removes the embedded struct cache_sb from struct cache_set,
and fixes all locations where the superb lock was referenced from this
removed super block by referencing the in-memory super block of struct
cache.

<title>bcache: check and set sync status on cache's in-memory super block</title>

Currently the cache's sync status is checked and set on cache set's in-
memory partial super block. After removing the embedded struct cache_sb
from cache set and reference cache's in-memory super block from struct
cache_set, the sync status can set and check directly on cache's super
block.

This patch checks and sets the cache sync status directly on cache's
in-memory super block. This is a preparation for later removing embedded
struct cache_sb from struct cache_set.

<title>bcache: only use block_bytes() on struct cache</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4e1ebae3ee4e0ce384c33832f66e417a965b64bc</id>
<content type='text'>
Because struct cache_set and struct cache both have struct cache_sb,
therefore macro block_bytes() can be used on both of them. When removing
the embedded struct cache_sb from struct cache_set, this macro won't be
used on struct cache_set anymore.

This patch unifies all block_bytes() usage only on struct cache, this is
one of the preparation to remove the embedded struct cache_sb from
struct cache_set.

Since now each cache_set explicitly has single cache, for_each_cache()
is unnecessary. This patch removes this macro, and update all locations
where it is used, and makes sure all code logic still being consistent.

<title>bcache: allocate meta data pages as compound pages</title>

There are some meta data of bcache are allocated by multiple pages,
and they are used as bio bv_page for I/Os to the cache device. for
example cache_set-&gt;uuids, cache-&gt;disk_buckets, journal_write-&gt;data,
bset_tree-&gt;data.

For such meta data memory, all the allocated pages should be treated
as a single memory block. Then the memory management and underlying I/O
code can treat them more clearly.

This patch adds __GFP_COMP flag to all the location allocating &gt;0 order
pages for the above mentioned meta data. Then their pages are treated
as compound pages now.
