This reverts commit 2fd3e5efe791946be0957c8e1eed9560b541fe46.

The above commit replaces page_address(bv-&gt;bv_page) by bvec_virt(bv) to
avoid directly access to bv-&gt;bv_page, but in situation bv-&gt;bv_offset is
not zero and page_address(bv-&gt;bv_page) is not equal to bvec_virt(bv). In
such case a memory corruption may happen because memory in next page is
tainted by following line in do_btree_node_write(),
	memcpy(bvec_virt(bv), addr, PAGE_SIZE);

This patch reverts the mentioned commit to avoid the memory corruption.

Use bvec_virt instead of open coding it.  Note that the existing code is
fine despite ignoring bv_offset as the bio is known to contain exactly
one page from the page allocator per bio_vec.

Before killing `btree_io_wq`, the queue was allocated using
`create_singlethread_workqueue()` which has `WQ_MEM_RECLAIM`. After
killing it, it no longer had this property but `system_wq` is not
single threaded.

Let's combine both worlds and make it multi threaded but able to
reclaim memory.

This reverts commit 56b30770b27d54d68ad51eccc6d888282b568cee.

With the btree using the `system_wq`, I seem to see a lot more desktop
latency than I should.

After some more investigation, it looks like the original assumption
of 56b3077 no longer is true, and bcache has a very high potential of
congesting the `system_wq`. In turn, this introduces laggy desktop
performance, IO stalls (at least with btrfs), and input events may be
delayed.

So let's revert this. It's important to note that the semantics of
using `system_wq` previously mean that `btree_io_wq` should be created
before and destroyed after other bcache wqs to keep the same
assumptions.

<title>bcache: remove embedded struct cache_sb from struct cache_set</title>

<content type='text'>
Since bcache code was merged into mainline kerrnel, each cache set only
as one single cache in it. The multiple caches framework is here but the
code is far from completed. Considering the multiple copies of cached
data can also be stored on e.g. md raid1 devices, it is unnecessary to
support multiple caches in one cache set indeed.

The previous preparation patches fix the dependencies of explicitly
making a cache set only have single cache. Now we don't have to maintain
an embedded partial super block in struct cache_set, the in-memory super
block can be directly referenced from struct cache.

This patch removes the embedded struct cache_sb from struct cache_set,
and fixes all locations where the superb lock was referenced from this
removed super block by referencing the in-memory super block of struct
cache.

Because struct cache_set and struct cache both have struct cache_sb,
therefore macro block_bytes() can be used on both of them. When removing
the embedded struct cache_sb from struct cache_set, this macro won't be

This patch unifies all block_bytes() usage only on struct cache, this is
