[PATCH 23/29] bcache: improve error message in bch_cached_dev_run()

From: Coly Li <hidden>
Date: 2019-06-14 13:15:28
Subsystem: bcache (block layer cache), the rest · Maintainers: Coly Li, Kent Overstreet, Linus Torvalds

This patch adds more error message in bch_cached_dev_run() to indicate
the exact reason why an error value is returned. Please notice when
printing out the "is running already" message, pr_info() is used here,
because in this case also -EBUSY is returned, the bcache device can
continue to attach to the cache devince and run, so it won't be an
error level message in kernel message.
