bcache: reduce cache_set devices iteration by devices_max_used
Member devices of struct cache_set is used to reference all attached bcache devices to this cache set. If it is treated as array of pointers, size of devices[] is indicated by member nr_uuids of struct cache_set. nr_uuids is calculated in drivers/md/super.c:bch_cache_set_alloc(), bucket_bytes(c) / sizeof(struct uuid_entry) Bucket size is determined by user space tool "make-bcache", by default it is 1024 sectors (defined in bcache-tools/make-bcache.c:main()). So default nr_uuids value is 4096 from the above calculation. Every time when bcache code iterates bcache devices of a cache set, all the 4096 pointers are checked even only 1 bcache device is attached to the cache set, that's a wast of time and unncessary. This patch adds a member devices_max_used to struct cache_set. Its value is 1 + the maximum used index of devices[] in a cache set. When iterating all valid bcache devices of a cache set, use c->devices_max_used in for-loop may reduce a lot of useless checking. Personally, my motivation of this patch is not for performance, I use it in bcache debugging, which helps me to narrow down the scape to check valid bcached devices of a cache set.
