commit 622536443b6731ec82c563aae7807165adbe9178 upstream.

Commit 8e7102273f59 ("bcache: make bch_btree_check() to be
multithreaded") makes bch_btree_check() to be much faster when checking
all btree nodes during cache device registration. But it isn't in ideal
shap yet, still can be improved.

This patch does the following thing to improve current parallel btree
nodes check by multiple threads in bch_btree_check(),
- Add read lock to root node while checking all the btree nodes with
multiple threads. Although currently it is not mandatory but it is
good to have a read lock in code logic.
- Remove local variable 'char name[32]', and generate kernel thread name
string directly when calling kthread_run().
- Allocate local variable "struct btree_check_state check_state" on the
stack and avoid unnecessary dynamic memory allocation for it.
- Reduce BCH_BTR_CHKTHREAD_MAX from 64 to 12 which is enough indeed.
- Increase check_state->started to count created kernel thread after it
succeeds to create.
- When wait for all checking kernel threads to finish, use wait_event()
to replace wait_event_interruptible().

With this change, the code is more clear, and some potential error
conditions are avoided.
