From: Zheng Liu <wenqing.lz at taobao.com>

commit fecaee6f20ee122ad75402c53d8278f9bb142ddc upstream.

This bug can be reproduced by the following script:

  #!/bin/bash

  bcache_sysfs="/sys/fs/bcache"

  function clear_cache()
  {
  	if [ ! -e $bcache_sysfs ]; then
  		echo "no bcache sysfs"
  		exit
  	fi

  	cset_uuid=$(ls -l $bcache_sysfs|head -n 2|tail -n 1|awk '{print $9}')
  	sudo sh -c "echo $cset_uuid > /sys/block/sdb/sdb1/bcache/detach"
  	sleep 5
  	sudo sh -c "echo $cset_uuid > /sys/block/sdb/sdb1/bcache/attach"
  }

  for ((i=0;i<10;i++)); do
  	clear_cache
  done

The warning messages look like below:

We forget to clear BCACHE_DEV_UNLINK_DONE flag in bcache_device_attach()
function when we attach a backing device first time.  After detaching this
backing device, this flag will be true and sysfs_remove_link() isn't called in
bcache_device_unlink().  Then when we attach this backing device again,
sysfs_create_link() will return EEXIST error in bcache_device_link().

So the fix is trival and we clear this flag in bcache_device_link().
