bcache: use sysfs_strtoul_bool() to set bit-field variables



When setting bcache parameters via sysfs, there are some variables are
defined as bit-field value. Current bcache code in sysfs.c uses either
d_strtoul() or sysfs_strtoul() to convert the input string to unsigned
integer value and set it to the corresponded bit-field value.

The problem is, the bit-field value only takes the lowest bit of the
converted value. If input is 2, the expected value (like bool value)
of the bit-field value should be 1, but indeed it is 0.

The following sysfs files for bit-field variables have such problem,
	bypass_torture_test,	for dc->bypass_torture_test
	writeback_metadata,	for dc->writeback_metadata
	writeback_running,	for dc->writeback_running
	verify,			for c->verify
	key_merging_disabled,	for c->key_merging_disabled
	gc_always_rewrite,	for c->gc_always_rewrite
	btree_shrinker_disabled,for c->shrinker_disabled
	copy_gc_enabled,	for c->copy_gc_enabled

This patch uses sysfs_strtoul_bool() to set such bit-field variables,
then if the converted value is non-zero, the bit-field variables will
be set to 1, like setting a bool value like expensive_debug_checks.
