bcache: fix potential div-zero error of writeback_rate_i_term_inverse
dc->writeback_rate_i_term_inverse can be set via sysfs interface. It is in type unsigned int, and convert from input string by d_strtoul(). The problem is d_strtoul() does not check valid range of the input, if 4294967296 is written into sysfs file writeback_rate_i_term_inverse, an overflow of unsigned integer will happen and value 0 is set to dc->writeback_rate_i_term_inverse. In writeback.c:__update_writeback_rate(), there are following lines of code, integral_scaled = div_s64(dc->writeback_rate_integral, dc->writeback_rate_i_term_inverse); If dc->writeback_rate_i_term_inverse is set to 0 via sysfs interface, a div-zero error might be triggered in the above code. Therefore we need to add a range limitation in the sysfs interface, this is what this patch does, use sysfs_stroul_clamp() to replace d_strtoul() and restrict the input range in [1, UINT_MAX].
