Subject: mm: fix arithmetic for max_prop_frac when setting max_ratio
Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2023 22:25:08 +0800
Since now bdi->max_ratio is part per million, fix the wrong arithmetic for
max_prop_frac when setting max_ratio. Otherwise the miscalculated
max_prop_frac will affect the incrementing of writeout completion count
when max_ratio is not 100%.
