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 3fd47bfe55b0 ("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.
