Coly Li 622536443b bcache: improve multithreaded bch_btree_check()
Commit 8e7102273f ("bcache: make bch_btree_check() to be
multithreaded") makes bch_btree_check() to be much faster when checking
all btree nodes during cache device registration. But it isn't in ideal
shap yet, still can be improved.

This patch does the following thing to improve current parallel btree
nodes check by multiple threads in bch_btree_check(),
- Add read lock to root node while checking all the btree nodes with
  multiple threads. Although currently it is not mandatory but it is
  good to have a read lock in code logic.
- Remove local variable 'char name[32]', and generate kernel thread name
  string directly when calling kthread_run().
- Allocate local variable "struct btree_check_state check_state" on the
  stack and avoid unnecessary dynamic memory allocation for it.
- Reduce BCH_BTR_CHKTHREAD_MAX from 64 to 12 which is enough indeed.
- Increase check_state->started to count created kernel thread after it
  succeeds to create.
- When wait for all checking kernel threads to finish, use wait_event()
  to replace wait_event_interruptible().

With this change, the code is more clear, and some potential error
conditions are avoided.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
