In bch_cached_dev_attach() after bch_cached_dev_writeback_start() called, the wrireback kthread and writeback rate update kworker of the cached device are created, if the following bch_cached_dev_run() failed, bch_cached_dev_attach() will return with -ENOMEM without stopping the writeback related kthread and kworker. This patch stops writeback kthread and writeback rate update kworker before returning -ENOMEM if bch_cached_dev_run() returns error.
