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.
