writeback: add dirty_throttle_control->pos_ratio

Browse source

wb_position_ratio() is used to calculate pos_ratio, which is used for
two purposes.  wb_update_dirty_ratelimit() uses it to adjust
wb->[balanced_]dirty_ratelimit gradually and balance_dirty_pages() to
immediately adjust dirty_ratelimit right before applying it to
determine pause duration.

While wb_update_dirty_ratelimit() is separately rate limited from
balance_dirty_pages(), on the run where the ratelimit is updated, we
end up calculating pos_ratio twice with the same parameters.

This patch adds dirty_throttle_control->pos_ratio.
balance_dirty_pages() calculates it once per run and
wb_update_dirty_ratelimit() uses the value stored in
dirty_throttle_control.

This removes the duplicate calculation and also will help implementing
memcg wb_domain.
