Hi Michael and Jens
When I do back port of bcache patches, I find commit 539d39eb2708
("bcache: fix wrong return value in bch_debug_init()") has extra part
from the original patch which Junhui Tanng posted.
The patch posted by Junhui Tang was,
From: Tang Junhui <tang.junhui@xxxxxxxxxx>
in bch_debug_init(), ret is always 0, and the return value is useless,
change it to return 0 if be success after calling debugfs_create_dir(),
else return a non-zero value.

But the patch merged in 4.16 has extra part of writeback stuffs. I guess
maybe some two patches combined together unwittingly.
Michael, could you please give me some hint ? Should we remove the extra
part of this patch, or we should split them into two patches ?
Thanks.
