Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:
(1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
(2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback
The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.
So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

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.

We need a reserve for allocating buckets for new btree nodes - and now that
we've got multiple btrees, it really needs to be per btree.
This reworks the reserves so we've got separate freelists for each reserve
instead of watermarks, which seems to make things a bit cleaner, and it adds
some code so that btree_split() can make sure the reserve is available before it
starts.

There is a possibility for a bucket to be invalidated by the allocator
while moving_gc was copying it's contents to another bucket, if the
bucket only held cached data. To prevent this moving checks for
a stale ptr (to an invalidated bucket), before and after reads.
It it finds one, it simply ignores moving that data. This only
affects bcache if the moving_gc was turned on, note that it's
off by default.

Removed gc_move_threshold because picking buckets only by
threshold could lead moving extra buckets (ei. if there are
buckets at the threshold that aren't supposed to be moved
do to space considerations).
This is replaced by a GC_MOVE bit in the gc_mark bitmask.
Now only marked buckets get moved.

With all the recent refactoring around struct btree op struct search has
gotten rather large.
But we can now easily break it up in a different way - we break out
struct btree_insert_op which is for inserting data into the cache, and
that's now what the copying gc code uses - struct search is now specific
to request.c

When we convert bch_btree_insert() to bch_btree_map_leaf_nodes(), we
won't be passing struct btree_op to bch_btree_insert() anymore - so we
need a different way of returning whether there was a collision (really,
a replace collision).

This is prep work for converting bch_btree_insert to
bch_btree_map_leaf_nodes() - we have to convert all its arguments to
actual arguments. Bunch of churn, but should be straightforward.

We needed a dedicated rescuer workqueue for gc anyways... and gc was
conceptually a dedicated thread, just one that wasn't running all the
time. Switch it to a dedicated thread to make the code a bit more
straightforward.

Making things less asynchronous that don't need to be - bch_journal()
only has to block when the journal or journal entry is full, which is
emphatically not a fast path. So make it a normal function that just
returns when it finishes, to make the code and control flow easier to
follow.

bch_keybuf_del() takes a spinlock that can't be taken in interrupt context -
whoops. Fortunately, this code isn't enabled by default (you have to toggle a
sysfs thing).

Some of bcache's utility code has made it into the rest of the kernel,
so drop the bcache versions.
Bcache used to have a workaround for allocating from a bio set under
generic_make_request() (if you allocated more than once, the bios you
already allocated would get stuck on current->bio_list when you
submitted, and you'd risk deadlock) - bcache would mask out __GFP_WAIT
when allocating bios under generic_make_request() so that allocation
could fail and it could retry from workqueue. But bio_alloc_bioset() has
a workaround now, so we can drop this hack and the associated error
handling.

Now that we're tracking dirty data per stripe, we can add two
optimizations for raid5/6:
* If a stripe is already dirty, force writes to that stripe to
writeback mode - to help build up full stripes of dirty data
* When flushing dirty data, preferentially write out full stripes first
if there are any.

The tracepoints were reworked to be more sensible, and fixed a null
pointer deref in one of the tracepoints.
Converted some of the pr_debug()s to tracepoints - this is partly a
performance optimization; it used to be that with DEBUG or
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG pr_debug() was an empty macro; but at some point it
was changed to an empty inline function.
Some of the pr_debug() statements had rather expensive function calls as
part of the arguments, so this code was getting run unnecessarily even
on non debug kernels - in some fast paths, too.
