[PATCH 4.4 63/66] bcache: fix for gc and write-back race

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tang Junhui <tang.junhui@zte.com.cn>

commit 9baf30972b5568d8b5bc8b3c46a6ec5b58100463 upstream.

gc and write-back get raced (see the email "bcache get stucked" I sended
before):
gc thread                               write-back thread

|                                       |               system_wq);
|                                       |==>write_dirty_finish()//excute

|                                       |              //lock

|                            //condition satisfied
|==>continue_at(cl, journal_write, system_wq); //try to excute
|                               //journal_write in system_wq
|                               //but work queue is excuting
|                               //write_dirty_finish()
|==>closure_sync(); //wait journal_write execute
|                   //over and wake up gc,
|-------------stuck here
|==>release root node write locker

This patch alloc a separate work-queue for write-back thread to avoid such
race.
