From: Coly Li <colyli@xxxxxxx> In order to update the partial super block of cache set, the seq numbers of cache and cache set are checked in register_cache_set(). If cache's seq number is larger than cache set's seq number, cache set must update its partial super block from cache's super block. It is unncessary when the embedded struct cache_sb is removed from struct cache set. This patch removed the seq numbers checking from register_cache_set(), because later there will be no such partial super block in struct cache set, the cache set will directly reference in-memory super block from struct cache. This is a preparation patch for removing embedded struct cache_sb from struct cache_set.
