When read cache miss, backing device will be read first, and then refill
the cache device. But under some scenarios there are large number of new
reads and rarely hit, so it's necessary to disable the refill when read
miss to save space for writes.
This patch add a new config called refill_on_miss_disabled which is not set
by default. Bcache user can set it by sysfs interface and then the bcache
device will not refill when read cache miss.

Please don't call the attribute refill_on_miss_disabled.
This kind of double-negation will always lead to issues; please invert
the meaning and call it 'refill_on_miss'.
Cheers,
Hannes
