device, the following potential deadlock warning is reported by lockdep
engine.

[  101.691318][  T401] bcache: bcache_device_free() bcache0 stopped

Here is how the above potential deadlock may happen in reboot/shutdown
code path,
1) bcache_reboot() is called firstly in the reboot/shutdown code path,
   then in bcache_reboot(), bcache_device_stop() is called.
2) bcache_device_stop() sets BCACHE_DEV_CLOSING on d->falgs, then call
   closure_queue(&d->cl) to invoke cached_dev_flush(). And in turn
   cached_dev_flush() calls cached_dev_free() via closure_at()
3) In cached_dev_free(), after stopped writebach kthread
   dc->writeback_thread, the kwork dc->writeback_write_wq is stopping by
   destroy_workqueue().
4) Inside destroy_workqueue(), drain_workqueue() is called. Inside
   drain_workqueue(), flush_workqueue() is called. Then wq->lockdep_map
   is acquired by lock_map_acquire() in flush_workqueue(). After the
   lock acquired the rest part of flush_workqueue() just wait for the
   workqueue to complete.
5) Now we look back at writeback thread routine bch_writeback_thread(),
   in the main while-loop, write_dirty() is called via continue_at() in
   read_dirty_submit(), which is called via continue_at() in while-loop
   level called function read_dirty(). Inside write_dirty() it may be
   re-called on workqueeu dc->writeback_write_wq via continue_at().
   It means when the writeback kthread is stopped in cached_dev_free()
   there might be still one kworker queued on dc->writeback_write_wq
   to execute write_dirty() again.
6) Now this kworker is scheduled on dc->writeback_write_wq to run by
   process_one_work() (which is called by worker_thread()). Before
   calling the kwork routine, wq->lockdep_map is acquired.
7) But wq->lockdep_map is acquired already in step 4), so a A-A lock
   (lockdep terminology) scenario happens.

Indeed on multiple cores syatem, the above deadlock is very rare to
happen, just as the code comments in process_one_work() says,
2263     * AFAICT there is no possible deadlock scenario between the
2264     * flush_work() and complete() primitives (except for
	   single-threaded
2265     * workqueues), so hiding them isn't a problem.

But it is still good to fix such lockdep warning, even no one running
bcache on single core system.

The fix is simple. This patch solves the above potential deadlock by,
- Do not destroy workqueue dc->writeback_write_wq in cached_dev_free().
- Flush and destroy dc->writeback_write_wq in writebach kthread routine
  bch_writeback_thread(), where after quit the thread main while-loop
  and before cached_dev_put() is called.

By this fix, dc->writeback_write_wq will be stopped and destroy before
the writeback kthread stopped, so the chance for a A-A locking on
wq->lockdep_map is disappeared, such A-A deadlock won't happen
any more.
