Subject: [ 03/52] bcache: Fix a dumb journal discard bug

3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Kent Overstreet <kmo@...erainc.com>

commit 6d9d21e35fbfa2934339e96934f862d118abac23 upstream.

That switch statement was obviously wrong, leading to some sort of weird
spinning on rare occasion with discards enabled...
