bcache: btree locking rework Add a new lock, b->write_lock, which is required to actually modify - or write - a btree node; this lock is only held for short durations. This means we can write out a btree node without taking b->lock, which _is_ held for long durations - solving a deadlock when btree_flush_write() (from the journalling code) is called with a btree node locked. Right now just occurs in bch_btree_set_root(), but with an upcoming journalling rework is going to happen a lot more. This also turns b->lock is now more of a read/intent lock instead of a read/write lock - but not completely, since it still blocks readers. May turn it into a real intent lock at some point in the future. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>
