bcache: writeback rate shouldn't artifically clamp
The previous code artificially limited writeback rate to 1000000 blocks/second (NSEC_PER_MSEC), which is a rate that can be met on fast hardware. The rate limiting code works fine (though with decreased precision) up to 3 orders of magnitude faster, so use NSEC_PER_SEC. Additionally, ensure that uint32_t is used as a type for rate throughout the rate management so that type checking/clamp_t can work properly. bch_next_delay should be rewritten for increased precision and better handling of high rates and long sleep periods, but this is adequate for now.
