[PATCH 3.14 10/39] mm/page-writeback.c: fix divide by zero in bdi_dirty_limits()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Maxim Patlasov <MPatlasov@parallels.com>

commit f6789593d5cea42a4ecb1cbeab6a23ade5ebbba7 upstream.

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.
