When backing device is offline, memory object pointed by dc->bdev might be released in some condititions. I have bug report that bdevname() triggers a NULL pointer deference panic inside bch_cached_dev_error(), where dc->bdev is NULL. This patch adds char backing_dev_name[BDEVNAME_SIZE] in struct cached_dev, and stored backing device name in backing_dev_nmae during backing device registration. Then when backing device is offline, pr_err() can still print message with backing device name without calling bdevname(). And backing_dev_name is also helpful when debugging crash code.
