[PATCH] dm cache: fix demotion stats in passthrough mode

The demotion counter is incremented per incoming write bio before the
invalidation begins, causing the demotion count to exceed the actual
number of cached blocks when multiple bios target the same cached
block. Additionally, the counter is incremented unconditionally
regardless of invalidation failure.
Reproduce steps:
1. Create a cache device consisting of 512 cache entries
modprobe brd rd_size=262144
dmsetup create cmeta --table "0 8192 linear /dev/ram0 0"
dmsetup create cdata --table "0 65536 linear /dev/ram0 8192"
dmsetup create corig --table "0 65536 linear /dev/ram0 262144"
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/cmeta bs=4k count=1 oflag=direct
dmsetup create cache --table "0 65536 cache /dev/mapper/cmeta \
/dev/mapper/cdata /dev/mapper/corig 128 2 metadata2 writethrough smq 0"
2. Populate the cache, and record the number of cached blocks
fio --name=populate --filename=/dev/mapper/cache --rw=randwrite --bs=4k \
--direct=1 --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=32 --io_size=2048m
nr_cached=$(dmsetup status cache | awk '{split($7, a, "/"); print a[1]}')
3. Reload the cache into passthrough mode
dmsetup suspend cache
dmsetup reload cache --table "0 65536 cache /dev/mapper/cmeta \
/dev/mapper/cdata /dev/mapper/corig 128 2 metadata2 passthrough smq 0"
dmsetup resume cache
4. Write to the passthrough cache with multiple jobs to trigger
multiple bios hitting the same cached block.
fio --filename=/dev/mapper/cache --name=test --rw=write --bs=4k \
--direct=1 --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=32 --numjobs=4
5. Check if demoted matches cached block count. These numbers should
match but may differ due to overcounting per bio.
nr_demoted=$(dmsetup status cache | awk '{print $12}')
echo "$nr_cached, $nr_demoted"
Fix by moving the demotion counter increment into invalidate_complete(),
gated on the success flag.
