mm: bdi: allow setting a maximum for the bdi dirty limit
Add "max_ratio" to /sys/class/bdi. This indicates the maximum percentage of
the global dirty threshold allocated to this bdi.
[mszeredi@suse.cz]
- fix parsing in max_ratio_store().
- export bdi_set_max_ratio() to modules
- limit bdi_dirty with bdi->max_ratio
- document new sysfs attribute
