Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] mm: fix arithmetic for max_prop_frac when setting max_ratio

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%.

Fixes: efc3e6ad53ea ("mm: split off __bdi_set_max_ratio() function")
