bcache: Revert "bcache: shrink btree node cache after bch_btree_check()"
This reverts commit 1df3877ff6a4810054237c3259d900ded4468969. In my testing, sometimes even all the cached btree nodes are freed, creating gc and allocator kernel threads may still fail. Finally it turns out that kthread_run() may fail if there is pending signal for current task. And the pending signal is sent from OOM killer which is triggered by memory consuption in bch_btree_check(). Therefore explicitly shrinking bcache btree node here does not help, and after the shrinker callback is improved, as well as pending signals are ignored before creating kernel threads, now such operation is unncessary anymore. This patch reverts the commit 1df3877ff6a4 ("bcache: shrink btree node cache after bch_btree_check()") because we have better improvement now.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
