Subject: [PATCH] bcache: make checkings for sb.nr_in_set and sb.nr_this_dev

Commit 697e23495c94f0380c1ed8b11f830b92b64c99ea
("bcache: explicitly make cache_set only have single cache")
explicitly makes a cache_set only have single cache and based on the
fact that historily only one cache is ever used in the cache set, so
valid number fo sb.nr_in_set should be 1 and sb.nr_this_dev should
always be 0.

Based on above truth, codes validations for sb.nr_in_set and sb.nr_this_dev
can make to be more accurate, that means tolerance for error checking
are reduced comparing before.
