bcache: add sysfs_strtoul_bool() for setting bit-field variables
When setting bool values via sysfs interface, e.g. writeback_metadata, if writing 1 into writeback_metadata file, dc->writeback_metadata is set to 1, but if writing 2 into the file, dc->writeback_metadata is 0. This is misleading, a better result should be 1 for all non-zero input value. It is because dc->writeback_metadata is a bit-field variable, and current code simply use d_strtoul() to convert a string into integer and takes the lowest bit value. To fix such error, we need a routine to convert the input string into unsigned integer, and set target variable to 1 if the converted integer is non-zero. This patch introduces a new macro called sysfs_strtoul_bool(), it can be used to convert input string into bool value, we can use it to set bool value for bit-field vairables.
