Subject: [PATCH 4.9 11/42] mm: bdi: initialize bdi_min_ratio when bdi is unregistered

From: Manjong Lee <mj0123.lee@...sung.com>

commit 3c376dfafbf7a8ea0dea212d095ddd83e93280bb upstream.

Initialize min_ratio if it is set during bdi unregistration.  This can
prevent problems that may occur a when bdi is removed without resetting
min_ratio.

For example.
1) insert external sdcard
2) set external sdcard's min_ratio 70
3) remove external sdcard without setting min_ratio 0
4) insert external sdcard
5) set external sdcard's min_ratio 70 << error occur(can't set)

Because when an sdcard is removed, the present bdi_min_ratio value will
remain.  Currently, the only way to reset bdi_min_ratio is to reboot.
