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].
