Revert "bcache: remove heap-related macros and switch to generic min_heap"
This reverts commit 866898efbb25bb44fd42848318e46db9e785973a. The generic bottom-up min_heap implementation causes performance regression in invalidate_buckets_lru(), a hot path in bcache. Before the cache is fully populated, new_bucket_prio() often returns zero, leading to many equal comparisons. In such cases, bottom-up sift_down performs up to 2 * log2(n) comparisons, while the original top-down approach completes with just O() comparisons, resulting in a measurable performance gap. The performance degradation is further worsened by the non-inlined min_heap API functions introduced in commit 92a8b224b833 ("lib/min_heap: introduce non-inline versions of min heap API functions"), adding function call overhead to this critical path. As reported by Robert, bcache now suffers from latency spikes, with P100 (max) latency increasing from 600 ms to 2.4 seconds every 5 minutes. These regressions degrade bcache's effectiveness as a low-latency cache layer and lead to frequent timeouts and application stalls in production environments. This revert aims to restore bcache's original low-latency behavior.
