Lin Feng aa97f6cdb7 bcache: fix NULL pointer reference in cached_dev_detach_finish
Commit 0259d4498b ("bcache: move calc_cached_dev_sectors to proper
place on backing device detach") tries to fix calc_cached_dev_sectors
when bcache device detaches, but now we have:

cached_dev_detach_finish
    ...
    bcache_device_detach(&dc->disk);
        ...
        closure_put(&d->c->caching);
        d->c = NULL; [*explicitly set dc->disk.c to NULL*]
    list_move(&dc->list, &uncached_devices);
    calc_cached_dev_sectors(dc->disk.c); [*passing a NULL pointer*]
    ...

Upper codeflows shows how bug happens, this patch fix the problem by
caching dc->disk.c beforehand, and cache_set won't be freed under us
because c->caching closure at least holds a reference count and closure
callback __cache_set_unregister only being called by bch_cache_set_stop
which using closure_queue(&c->caching), that means c->caching closure
callback for destroying cache_set won't be trigger by previous
closure_put(&d->c->caching).
So at this stage(while cached_dev_detach_finish is calling) it's safe to
access cache_set dc->disk.c.

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.
