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.
