I want to make sure that the set_capacity call that happens on cache 
attachment is not necessary when a backing device is attached without 
its dirty writeback cache since bcache0 is not presented until the cache 
attaches in that case.

Can you also unregister the volume, attach the backing device first, and 
then the cache while the cache is dirty to make sure that the size is set 
correctly?
