[PATCH] bcache: decouple emitting a cached_dev CHANGE uevent

From: Joseph Salisbury

From: Ryan Harper <ryan.harper@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1729145

A bug is preventing /dev/bcache/by-uuid links from being created after reboot.
It appears that since the initramfs loads the bcache module which probes and
finds all of the cache devices and backing devices then once the rootfs is
mounted and udev gets to run, the bcache kernel module does not emit the
CACHED_UUID value into the environment if the underlying devices are already registered.

With this patch, instead of just failing with "device already registered"
the kernel emits another uevent with CACHED_UUID which would be processed
another time to set up a symlink.


- decouple emitting a cached_dev CHANGE uevent which includes dev.uuid
and dev.label from bch_cached_dev_run() which only happens when a
bcacheX device is bound to the actual backing block device (bcache0 -> vdb)

- update bch_cached_dev_run() to invoke bch_cached_dev_emit_change() as
needed; no functional code path changes here

- Modify register_bcache to detect a re-registering of a bcache
cached_dev, and in that case call bcache_cached_dev_emit_change() to
