bcache: fix race between setting bdev state to none and new write request direct to backing
There is a race condition in detaching as below: A. detaching B. Write request (1) writing back (2) write back done, set bdev state to clean. (3) cached_dev_put() and schedule_work(&dc->detach); (4) write data [0 - 4K] directly into backing and ack to user. (5) power-failure... When we restart this bcache device, this bdev is clean but not detached, and read [0 - 4K], we will get unexpected old data from cache device. To fix this problem, set the bdev state to none when we writeback done in detaching, and then if power-failure happened as above, the data in cache will not be used in next bcache device starting, it's detached, we will read the correct data from backing derectly.

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.
