This adds a function to return the specified value for max_bytes. It
converts the stored max_ratio of the bdi to the corresponding bytes
value. It introduces the bdi_get_bytes helper function to do the
conversion. This is an approximation as it is based on the value that is
returned by global_dirty_limits(), which can change. The helper function
will also be used by the min_bytes bdi knob.
