[PATCH 2/2] [PATCH] bcache: __write_super to handle page sizes other than 4k

[Liang Chen <liangchen.linux@xxxxxxxxx>]

__write_super assumes super block data starts at offset 0 of the page
read in with __bread from read_super, which is not true when page size
is not 4k. We encountered the issue on system with 64K page size - commonly
 seen on aarch64 architecture.

Instead of making any assumption on the offset of the data within the page,
this patch calls __bread again to locate the data. That should not introduce
an extra io since the page has been held when it's read in from read_super,
and __write_super is not on performance critical code path.
