      Merge bcache fixes from Kent Overstreet:
       "There's fixes for _three_ different data corruption bugs, all of which
        were found by users hitting them in the wild.
      
        The first one isn't bcache specific - in 3.11 bcache was switched to
        the bio_copy_data in fs/bio.c, and that's when the bug in that code
        was discovered, but it's also used by raid1 and pktcdvd.  (That was my
        code too, so the bug's doubly embarassing given that it was or
        should've been just a cut and paste from bcache code.  Dunno what
        happened there).
      
        Most of these (all the non data corruption bugs, actually) were ready
        before the merge window and have been sitting in Jens' tree, but I
        don't know what's been up with him lately..."

      bcache: Fix flushes in writeback mode · c0f04d88
      Kent Overstreet authored
      In writeback mode, when we get a cache flush we need to make sure we
      issue a flush to the backing device.
      
      The code for sending down an extra flush was wrong - by cloning the bio
      we were probably getting flags that didn't make sense for a bare flush,
      and also the old code was firing for FUA bios, for which we don't need
      to send a flush to the backing device.
      
      This was causing data corruption somehow - the mechanism was never
      determined, but this patch fixes it for the users that were seeing it.
