mainline inclusion from mainline-5.3-rc1 commit e6dcbd3e6c91b7828cb305ec324eb7fd9bdea8a0 category: backport When cache_set_flush() is called for too many I/O errors detected on cache device and the cache set is retiring, inside the function it doesn't make sense to flushing cached btree nodes from c->btree_cache because CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE is set on c->flags already and all I/Os onto cache device will be rejected. This patch checks in cache_set_flush() that whether CACHE_SET_IO_DISABLE is set. If yes, then avoids to flush the cached btree nodes to reduce more time and make cache set retiring more faster.
