The "Asynchronous device registration (EXPERIMENTAL)" Kconfig option is
for 2+ years, it is used when registration takes too much time for
massive amount of cached data, to avoid udev task timeout during boot
time.
Many users and products enable this Kconfig option for quite long time
(e.g. SUSE Linux) and it works as expected and no issue reported.
It is time to remove the "EXPERIMENTAL" tag from this Kconfig item.

Move the block holder code into a separate file as it is not in any way
related to the other block_dev.c code, and add a new selectable config
option for it so that we don't have to build it without any remapped
drivers selected.
The Kconfig symbol contains a _DEPRECATED suffix to match the comments
added in commit 49731baa41
("block: restore multiple bd_link_disk_holder() support").

In order to avoid the experimental async registration interface to
be treated as new kernel ABI for common users, this patch makes it
as an experimental kernel configure BCACHE_ASYNC_REGISTRAION.
This interface is for extreme large cached data situation, to make sure
the bcache device can always created without the udev timeout issue. For
normal users the async or sync registration does not make difference.
In future when we decide to use the asynchronous registration as default
behavior, this experimental interface may be removed.

* tag 'for-4.19/post-20180822' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (31 commits)
block/DAC960.c: make some arrays static const, shrinks object size
blk-mq: sync the update nr_hw_queues with blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter
blk-mq: init hctx sched after update ctx and hctx mapping
block: remove duplicate initialization
tracing/blktrace: Fix to allow setting same value
pktcdvd: fix setting of 'ret' error return for a few cases
block: change return type to bool
block, bfq: return nbytes and not zero from struct cftype .write() method
block, bfq: improve code of bfq_bfqq_charge_time
block, bfq: reduce write overcharge
block, bfq: always update the budget of an entity when needed
block, bfq: readd missing reset of parent-entity service
blk-wbt: fix IO hang in wbt_wait()
block: don't warn for flush on read-only device
bcache: add the missing comments for smp_mb()/smp_wmb()
bcache: remove unnecessary space before ioctl function pointer arguments
bcache: add missing SPDX header
bcache: move open brace at end of function definitions to next line
bcache: add static const prefix to char * array declarations
bcache: fix code comments style
...
Now we have crc64 calculation in lib/crc64.c, it is unnecessary for
bcache to use its own version. This patch changes bcache code to use
crc64 routines in lib/crc64.c.

Current bcache Kconfig uses '---help---' as header of help information,
for now 'help' is prefered. This patch fixes this style by replacing
'---help---' by 'help' in bcache Kconfig file.

Couple changes:
* Consolidate bch_check_keys() and bch_check_key_order(), and move the
checks that only check_key_order() could do to bch_btree_iter_next().
* Get rid of CONFIG_BCACHE_EDEBUG - now, all that code is compiled in
when CONFIG_BCACHE_DEBUG is enabled, and there's now a sysfs file to
flip on the EDEBUG checks at runtime.
* Dropped an old not terribly useful check in rw_unlock(), and
refactored/improved a some of the other debug code.

The Kconfig entry for BCACHE selects CLOSURES. But there's no Kconfig
symbol CLOSURES. That symbol was used in development versions of bcache,
but was removed when the closures code was no longer provided as a
kernel library. It can safely be dropped.

Does writethrough and writeback caching, handles unclean shutdown, and
has a bunch of other nifty features motivated by real world usage.
