bcache: do not mark writeback_running too early 

A fresh backing device is not attached to any cache_set, and
has no writeback kthread created until first attached to some
cache_set.

But bch_cached_dev_writeback_init run
"
	dc->writeback_running		= true;
	WARN_ON(test_and_clear_bit(BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING,
			&dc->disk.flags));
"
for any newly formatted backing devices.

For a fresh standalone backing device, we can get something like
following even if no writeback kthread created:
------------------------
/sys/block/bcache0/bcache# cat writeback_running
1
/sys/block/bcache0/bcache# cat writeback_rate_debug
rate:		512.0k/sec
dirty:		0.0k
target:		0.0k
proportional:	0.0k
integral:	0.0k
change:		0.0k/sec
next io:	-15427384ms

The none ZERO fields are misleading as no alive writeback kthread yet.

Set dc->writeback_running false as no writeback thread created in
bch_cached_dev_writeback_init().

We have writeback thread created and woken up in bch_cached_dev_writeback
_start(). Set dc->writeback_running true before bch_writeback_queue()
called, as a writeback thread will check if dc->writeback_running is true
before writing back dirty data, and hung if false detected.

After the change, we can get the following output for a fresh standalone
backing device:
-----------------------
/sys/block/bcache0/bcache$ cat writeback_running
0
/sys/block/bcache0/bcache# cat writeback_rate_debug
rate:		0.0k/sec
dirty:		0.0k
target:		0.0k
proportional:	0.0k
integral:	0.0k
change:		0.0k/sec
next io:	0ms

v1 -> v2:
  Set dc->writeback_running before bch_writeback_queue() called,
