[ 11/57] bcache: Fix flushes in writeback mode

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.11-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Kent Overstreet <kmo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit c0f04d88e46d14de51f4baebb6efafb7d59e9f96 upstream.

In writeback mode, when we get a cache flush we need to make sure we
issue a flush to the backing device.

The code for sending down an extra flush was wrong - by cloning the bio
we were probably getting flags that didn't make sense for a bare flush,
and also the old code was firing for FUA bios, for which we don't need
to send a flush to the backing device.

This was causing data corruption somehow - the mechanism was never
determined, but this patch fixes it for the users that were seeing it.
