bcachefs: Don't keep tons of cached pointers around
We had a bug report where the data update path was creating an extent
that failed to validate because it had too many pointers; almost all of
them were cached.
To fix this, we have:
- want_cached_ptr(), a new helper that checks if we even want a cached
pointer (is on appropriate target, device is readable).
- bch2_extent_set_ptr_cached() now only sets a pointer cached if we want
it.
- bch2_extent_normalize_by_opts() now ensures that we only have a single
cached pointer that we want.
While working on this, it was noticed that this doesn't work well with
reflinked data and per-file options. Another patch series is coming that
plumbs through additional io path options through bch_extent_rebalance,
with improved option handling.
