Coly Li 1f0ffa6734 bcache: only set BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING when cached device attached
When people set a writeback percent via sysfs file,
  /sys/block/bcache<N>/bcache/writeback_percent
current code directly sets BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING to dc->disk.flags
and schedules kworker dc->writeback_rate_update.

If there is no cache set attached to, the writeback kernel thread is
not running indeed, running dc->writeback_rate_update does not make
sense and may cause NULL pointer deference when reference cache set
pointer inside update_writeback_rate().

This patch checks whether the cache set point (dc->disk.c) is NULL in
sysfs interface handler, and only set BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING and
schedule dc->writeback_rate_update when dc->disk.c is not NULL (it
means the cache device is attached to a cache set).

This problem might be introduced from initial bcache commit, but
commit 3fd47bfe55 ("bcache: stop dc->writeback_rate_update properly")
changes part of the original code piece, so I add 'Fixes: 3fd47bfe55b0'
to indicate from which commit this patch can be applied.

Fixes: 3fd47bfe55 ("bcache: stop dc->writeback_rate_update properly")
