Subject: [PATCH 4.14 077/121] bcache: fix input overflow to sequential_cutoff

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

[ Upstream commit 8c27a3953e92eb0b22dbb03d599f543a05f9574e ]

People may set sequential_cutoff of a cached device via sysfs file,
but current code does not check input value overflow. E.g. if value
4294967295 (UINT_MAX) is written to file sequential_cutoff, its value
is 4GB, but if 4294967296 (UINT_MAX + 1) is written into, its value
will be 0. This is an unexpected behavior.

This patch replaces d_strtoi_h() by sysfs_strtoul_clamp() to convert
input string to unsigned integer value, and limit its range in
[0, UINT_MAX]. Then the input overflow can be fixed.
