Cache set congested threshold values congested_read_threshold_us and congested_write_threshold_us can be set via sysfs interface. These two values are 'unsigned int' type, but sysfs interface uses strtoul to convert input string. So if people input a large number like 9999999999, the value indeed set is 1410065407, which is not expected behavior. This patch replaces sysfs_strtoul() by sysfs_strtoul_clamp() when convert input string to unsigned int value, and set value range in [0, UINT_MAX], to avoid the above integer overflow errors.
