[PATCH] bcache: safeguard a dangerous addressing in closure_queue

[Liang Chen <liangchen.linux@gmail.com>]

The use of the union reduces the size of closure struct by taking advantage
of the current size of its members. The offset of func in work_struct equals
the size of the first three members, so that work.work_func will just
reference the forth member - fn.

This is smart but dangerous. It can be broken if work_struct or the other
structs get changed, and can be a bit difficult to debug.

Replacing all occurences of closure_fn to work_func_fn seems to be an option
but that would end up with a big lenghty and error prone patch.
