When setting bool values via sysfs interface, e.g. writeback_metadata, if writing 1 into writeback_metadata file, dc->writeback_metadata is set to 1, but if writing 2 into the file, dc->writeback_metadata is 0. This is misleading, a better result should be 1 for all non-zero input value. It is because dc->writeback_metadata is a bit-field variable, and current code simply use d_strtoul() to convert a string into integer and takes the lowest bit value. To fix such error, we need a routine to convert the input string into unsigned integer, and set target variable to 1 if the converted integer is non-zero. This patch introduces a new macro called sysfs_strtoul_bool(), it can be used to convert input string into bool value, we can use it to set bool value for bit-field vairables.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
