mm/page-writeback.c: avoid potential division by zero in wb_min_max_ratio()

commit 6d9e8c651dd979aa666bee15f086745f3ea9c4b3 upstream.

Patch series "use div64_ul() instead of div_u64() if the divisor is
unsigned long".

We were first inspired by commit b0ab99e7736a ("sched: Fix possible divide
by zero in avg_atom () calculation"), then refer to the recently analyzed
mm code, we found this suspicious place.

 201                 if (min) {
 202                         min *= this_bw;
 203                         do_div(min, tot_bw);
 204                 }

And we also disassembled and confirmed it:

This series uses div64_ul() instead of div_u64() if the divisor is
unsigned long, to avoid truncation to 32-bit on 64-bit platforms.

This patch (of 3):

The variables 'min' and 'max' are unsigned long and do_div truncates
them to 32 bits, which means it can test non-zero and be truncated to
zero for division.  Fix this issue by using div64_ul() instead.
