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
