Subject: [PATCH] bcache: don't write back data if reading it failed
Git-commit: 5fa89fb9a86bcc0f0b3f21ab6087a8a4170dcd2c
Patch-mainline: v4.15-rc1
References: bsc#1076110, bsc#1043652

If an IO operation fails, and we didn't successfully read data from the
cache, don't writeback invalid/partial data to the backing disk.
