As vm.dirty_[background_]bytes can't be applied verbatim to multiple
cgroup writeback domains, they get converted to percentages in
domain_dirty_limits() and applied the same way as
vm.dirty_[background]ratio. However, if the specified bytes is lower
than 1% of available memory, the calculated ratios become zero and the
writeback domain gets throttled constantly.
Fix it by using per-PAGE_SIZE instead of percentage for ratio
calculations. Also, the updated DIV_ROUND_UP() usages now should
yield 1/4096 (0.0244%) as the minimum ratio as long as the specified
bytes are above zero.
