[PATCH] bcache: fix uninitialized closure object

[PATCH] bcache: fix uninitialized closure object

[colyli]

From: Mingzhe Zou <mingzhe.zou@easystack.cn>

In the previous patch ("bcache: fix cached_dev.sb_bio use-after-free and
crash"), we adopted a simple modification suggestion from AI to fix the
use-after-free.

But in actual testing, we found an extreme case where the device is
stopped before calling bch_write_bdev_super().

At this point, struct closure sb_write has not been initialized yet.
For this patch, we ensure that sb_bio has been completed via
sb_write_mutex.

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the
stable kernel tree.  Please read:

for how to do this properly.
