Current bcache failure handling code will stop all attached bcache devices
when the cache set is broken or disconnected. This is desired behavior for
most of enterprise or cloud use cases, but maybe not for low end
configuration. Nix <nix@esperi.org.uk> points out, users may still want to
access the bcache device after cache device failed, for example on laptops.

This patch adds a per-cached_dev option stop_when_cache_set_failed, which
is enabled (1) by default. Its value can be set via sysfs, when it is set
to 0, the corresponding bcache device won't be stopped when a broken
or disconnected cache set is retiring. 

When the cached device has dirty data on retiring cache set, if bcache
device is not stopped, following I/O request on the bcache device may
result data corruption on backing device. This patch also prints out warn-
ing information in kernel message.
