bcache: remove member accessed from struct btree

The member 'accessed' of struct btree is used in bch_mca_scan() when
shrinking btree node caches. The original idea is, if b->accessed is
set, clean it and look at next btree node cache from c->btree_cache
list, and only shrink the caches whose b->accessed is cleaned. Then
only cold btree node cache will be shrunk.

But when I/O pressure is high, it is very probably that b->accessed
of a btree node cache will be set again in bch_btree_node_get()
before bch_mca_scan() selects it again. Then there is no chance for
bch_mca_scan() to shrink enough memory back to slub or slab system.

This patch removes member accessed from struct btree, then once a
btree node ache is selected, it will be immediately shunk. By this
change, bch_mca_scan() may release btree node cahce more efficiently.
