bcache: export backing_dev_uuid via sysfs
When there are multiple bcache devices, after a reboot the name of bcache devices may change (e.g. current /dev/bcache1 was /dev/bcache0 before reboot). Therefore we need the backing device UUID (sb.uuid) to identify each bcache device. Backing device uuid can be found by program bcache-super-show, but directly exporting backing_dev_uuid by sysfs file /sys/block/bcache<?>/bcache/backing_dev_uuid is a much simpler method. With backing_dev_uuid, and partition uuids from /dev/disk/by-partuuid/, now we can identify each bcache device and its partitions conveniently.
