Subject: [PATCH 1/5] mm: enable __wb_calc_thresh to calculate dirty background threshold

Originally, __wb_calc_thresh always calculate wb's share of dirty
throttling threshold. By getting thresh of wb_domain from caller,
__wb_calc_thresh could be used for both dirty throttling and dirty
background threshold.

This is a preparation to correct threshold calculation of wb in cgroup.
