Currently the bcache internal btree node occupies a whole bucket. When loading the btree node from cache device into memory, mca_data_alloc() will call bch_btree_keys_alloc() to allocate memory for the whole bucket size, ilog2(b->c->btree_pages) is send to bch_btree_keys_alloc() as the parameter 'page_order'. c->btree_pages is set as bucket_pages() in bch_cache_set_alloc(), for bucket size > 8MB, ilog2(b->c->btree_pages) is 12 for 4KB page size. By default the maximum page order __get_free_pages() accepts is MAX_ORDER (11), in this condition bch_btree_keys_alloc() will always fail. Because of other over-page-order allocation failure fails the cache device registration, such btree node allocation failure wasn't observed during runtime. After other blocking page allocation failures for bucket size > 8MB, this btree node allocation issue may trigger potentical risk e.g. infinite dead-loop to retry btree node allocation after failure. This patch fixes the potential problem by setting c->btree_pages to meta_bucket_pages() in bch_cache_set_alloc(). In the condition that bucket size > 8MB, meta_bucket_pages() will always return a number which won't exceed the maximum page order of the buddy allocator.
