bcache: remove incremental dirty sector counting for bch_sectors_dirty_init()
After making bch_sectors_dirty_init() being multithreaded, the existing incremental dirty sector counting in bch_root_node_dirty_init() doesn't release btree occupation after iterating 500000 (INIT_KEYS_EACH_TIME) bkeys. Because a read lock is added on btree root node to prevent the btree to be split during the dirty sectors counting, other I/O requester has no chance to gain the write lock even restart bcache_btree(). That is to say, the incremental dirty sectors counting is incompatible to the multhreaded bch_sectors_dirty_init(). We have to choose one and drop another one. In my testing, with 512 bytes random writes, I generate 1.2T dirty data and a btree with 400K nodes. With single thread and incremental dirty sectors counting, it takes 30+ minites to register the backing device. And with multithreaded dirty sectors counting, the backing device registration can be accomplished within 2 minutes. The 30+ minutes V.S. 2- minutes difference makes me decide to keep multithreaded bch_sectors_dirty_init() and drop the incremental dirty sectors counting. This is what this patch does. But INIT_KEYS_EACH_TIME is kept, in sectors_dirty_init_fn() the CPU will be released by cond_resched() after every INIT_KEYS_EACH_TIME keys iterated. This is to avoid the watchdog reports a bogus soft lockup warning.
