bcache patches for Linux v5.18

[Coly Li <colyli@suse.de>]

Hi Jens,

I have technical problem to send patches via email this time, please 
consider to pull the bcache changes from my bcache tree. They can be 
applied on top of your for-5.18/drivers branch.

We have 2 patches for Linux v5.18, both of them are from Mingzhe Zou. 
The first patch improves bcache initialization speed by avoid 
unnecessary cost of cache consistency, the second one fixes a potential 
NULL pointer deference in bcache initialization time,

Please take them for Linux v5.18, thanks in advance.

Coly Li
