bcache: RESERVE_PRIO is too small by one when prio_buckets() is a power of two.

This patch fixes a cachedev registration-time allocation deadlock.
This can deadlock on boot if your initrd auto-registeres bcache devices:

The fifo code in upstream bcache can't use the last element in the buffer,
which was the cause of the bug: if you asked for a power of two size,
it'd give you a fifo that could hold one less than what you asked for
rather than allocating a buffer twice as big.
