Sysfs file writeback_delay is used to configure dc->writeback_delay which is type unsigned int. But bcache code uses sysfs_strtoul() to convert the input string, therefore it might be overflowed if the input value is too large. E.g. input value is 4294967296 but indeed 0 is set to dc->writeback_delay. This patch uses sysfs_strtoul_clamp() to convert the input string and set the result value range in [0, UINT_MAX] to avoid such unsigned integer overflow.
