mm/page-writeback.c: fix divide by zero in bdi_dirty_limits()
Under memory pressure, it is possible for dirty_thresh, calculated by global_dirty_limits() in balance_dirty_pages(), to equal zero. Then, if strictlimit is true, bdi_dirty_limits() tries to resolve the proportion: bdi_bg_thresh : bdi_thresh = background_thresh : dirty_thresh by dividing by zero.
