If you encounter any errors in bch_cached_dev_attach it will return a negative error code. The variable 'v' which stores the result is unsigned, thus user space sees a very large value returned for bytes written which can cause incorrect user space behavior. Utilize 1 signed variable to use throughout the function to preserve error return capability.
