mm: fix div by zero in bdi_ratio_from_pages
During testing it has been detected, that it is possible to get div by
zero error in bdi_set_min_bytes. The error is caused by the function
bdi_ratio_from_pages(). bdi_ratio_from_pages() calls global_dirty_limits.
If the dirty threshold is 0, the div by zero is raised. This can happen
if the root user is setting:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio
The following is a test case:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio
cd /sys/class/bdi/<device>
echo 1 > strict_limit
echo 8192 > min_bytes
==> error is raised.
The problem is addressed by returning -EINVAL if dirty_ratio or
dirty_bytes is set to 0.
[shr@devkernel.io: check for -EINVAL in bdi_set_min_bytes() and bdi_set_max_bytes()]
