When using dirty_ratio, we can check the value of dirty_ratio at setting it
and make guarantee that any children's dirty_ratio cannot exceeds it parent's.

If we guarantee that, we can keep dirty_ratio even under hierarchy.

When it comes to dirty_limit_in_bytes, we never able to do such kind of
controls. So, it will be broken and will do different behavior than
dirty_ratio.

So, not supporing dirty_bytes when use_hierarchy==1 for now sounds reasonable 
to me.
