mm: bdi: allow setting a minimum for the bdi dirty limit
Under normal circumstances each device is given a part of the total write-back
cache that relates to its current avg writeout speed in relation to the other
devices.
min_ratio - allows one to assign a minimum portion of the write-back cache to
a particular device. This is useful in situations where you might want to
provide a minimum QoS. (One request for this feature came from flash based
storage people who wanted to avoid writing out at all costs - they of course
needed some pdflush hacks as well)
max_ratio - allows one to assign a maximum portion of the dirty limit to a
particular device. This is useful in situations where you want to avoid one
device taking all or most of the write-back cache. Eg. an NFS mount that is
prone to get stuck, or a FUSE mount which you don't trust to play fair.
Add "min_ratio" to /sys/class/bdi. This indicates the minimum percentage of
the global dirty threshold allocated to this bdi.

- fix parsing in min_ratio_store()
- document new sysfs attribute
