Subject: [PATCH] mm: fix arithmetic for bdi min_ratio and max_ratio

bdi->[min|max]_ratio are both part per million.  Fix the wrong
arithmetic when setting bdi's min_ratio and max_ratio.

Fixes: efc3e6ad53ea ("mm: split off __bdi_set_max_ratio() function")
Fixes: 8021fb3232f2 ("mm: split off __bdi_set_min_ratio() function")
