bcache: fix deadlock in bcache_allocator
[ Upstream commit 84c529aea182939e68f618ed9813740c9165c7eb ] bcache_allocator can call the following: bch_allocator_thread() -> bch_prio_write() -> bch_bucket_alloc() -> wait on &ca->set->bucket_wait But the wake up event on bucket_wait is supposed to come from bch_allocator_thread() itself => deadlock: [ 1158.490744] INFO: task bcache_allocato:15861 blocked for more than 10 seconds. [ 1158.495929] Not tainted 5.3.0-050300rc3-generic #201908042232 [ 1158.500653] "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

Moreover, make sure to wake up the garbage collector thread when bch_prio_write() is failing to allocate buckets.
