nfs_congestion_kb is to control the max allowed writeback and in-commit
pages. It's not reasonable for them to outnumber dirty and to-commit
pages. So each of them should not take more than 1/4 dirty threshold.
Considering that nfs_init_writepagecache() is called on fresh boot,
at the time dirty_thresh is much higher than the real dirty limit after
lots of user space memory consumptions, use 1/8 instead.
Feng: fix deadlock by preventing (nfs_congestion_kb == 0)
