bch_btree_check_thread() and bch_dirty_init_thread() may call
mca_cannibalize() to cannibalize other cached btree nodes. Only one thread
can do it at a time, so the op of other threads will be added to the
btree_cache_wait list.
We must call finish_wait() to remove op from btree_cache_wait before free
it's memory address. Otherwise, the list will be damaged. Also should call
bch_cannibalize_unlock() to release the btree_cache_alloc_lock and wake_up
other waiters.
