bcache: update bucket_in_use in real time
bucket_in_use is updated in gc thread which triggered by invalidating or writing sectors_to_gc dirty data, It's a long interval. Therefore, when we use it to compare with the threshold, it is often not timely, which leads to inaccurate judgment and often results in bucket depletion. We have send a patch before, by the means of updating bucket_in_use periodically In gc thread, which Coly thought that would lead high latency, In this patch, we add avail_nbuckets to record the count of available buckets, and we calculate bucket_in_use when alloc or free bucket in real time.
