bcache: Fix moving_gc deadlocking with a foreground write
Deadlock happened because a foreground write slept, waiting for a bucket to be allocated. Normally the gc would mark buckets available for invalidation. But the moving_gc was stuck waiting for outstanding writes to complete. These writes used the bcache_wq, the same queue foreground writes used. This fix gives moving_gc its own work queue, so it was still finish moving even if foreground writes are stuck waiting for allocation. It also makes work queue a parameter to the data_insert path, so moving_gc can use its workqueue for writes.
