bcache: fix fifo index swapping condition in journal_pin_cmp()
Fifo structure journal.pin is implemented by a cycle buffer, if the back index reaches highest location of the cycle buffer, it will be swapped to 0. Once the swapping happens, it means a smaller fifo index might be associated to a newer journal entry. So the btree node with oldest journal entry won't be selected in bch_btree_leaf_dirty() to reference the dirty B+tree leaf node. This problem may cause bcache journal won't protect unflushed oldest B+tree dirty leaf node in power failure, and this B+tree leaf node is possible to beinconsistent after reboot from power failure. This patch fixes the fifo index comparing logic in journal_pin_cmp(), to avoid potential corrupted B+tree leaf node when the back index of journal pin is swapped.
