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.
