Subject: [PATCH 4.19 184/271] bcache: Revert "bcache: fix high CPU occupancy during journal"

From: Coly Li <colyli@...e.de>

commit 249a5f6da57c28a903c75d81505d58ec8c10030d upstream.

This reverts commit c4dc2497d50d9c6fb16aa0d07b6a14f3b2adb1e0.

This patch enlarges a race between normal btree flush code path and
flush_btree_write(), which causes deadlock when journal space is
exhausted. Reverts this patch makes the race window from 128 btree
nodes to only 1 btree nodes.
