For the sake of consistency of usage of varibale naming how about using

pos_ratio = bdi_position_ratio()?

So far bw had pos_ratio as value now it will be replaced with actual
bandwidth as value. It makes code confusing. So using pos_ratio will
help.

		bw = (u64)base_bw * pos_ratio >> BANDWIDTH_CALC_SHIFT;
