Bcache fixes for stable

Bcache fixes for stable

[Kent Overstreet]

Two fixes that went into 3.11 should've been marked for stable, but I
screwed up and forgot to mark them.

One of them fixes bugs that appear to being hit in the wild, so please
pull these:

The following changes since commit 0a4b6d4ff200a553951f77f765971cb3e4c91ec0:

Can I get a hint as to what the git commit ids of these patches are in
Linus's tree?

Ideally, that's all you need to send me, but if you want to send me a
git pull, that's fine too, but please use a signed tag, otherwise it's
just a random tree...

Also, if you do a git pull, I need the git commit ids in the changelog
entry that match Linus's tree, so people (like me) can verify things.

For now, I can edit these two patches and add them in, if you give me
the git commit ids to verify them.

thanks,

*nod* I need to get some more signatures on my gpg key...

Ok, I'll remember that for the future.

Ok - I don't care too much either way but there were some slightly
nontrivial conflicts on the second patch, and the one I did backported
has been tested.

Thanks, I took your second patch, and the first patch directly from
Linus's tree, and added them to the 3.10-stable queue.
