As far as the docs tell, bcache is designed to shut down unclean. So
this is expected behavior in write-back mode.

To cleanly detach a bcache, you would need to first put it in
write-through or write-around mode and wait for write-back to finish.
In turn, this mode should also avoid these messages at boot.
