From: Tony Asleson <tasleson@xxxxxxxxxx>
If you encounter any errors in bch_cached_dev_attach it will return a negative
error code. The variable 'v' which stores the result is unsigned, thus user
space sees a very large value returned for bytes written which can cause
incorrect user space behavior. Utilize 1 signed variable to use throughout
the function to preserve error return capability.
