bcache: cannot set writeback_running via sysfs if no writeback kthread created
"echo 1 > writeback_running" marks writeback_running even if no
writeback kthread created as "d_strtoul(writeback_running)" will simply
set dc-> writeback_running without checking the existence of
dc->writeback_thread.
Add check for setting writeback_running via sysfs: if no writeback
kthread available, reject setting to 1.
v2 -> v3:
* Make message on wrong assignment more clear.
* Print name of bcache device instead of name of backing device.
