mm: add /sys/class/bdi/<bdi>/min_bytes knob

bdi has two existing knobs to limit the amount of dirty memory:
min_ratio and max_ratio. However the granularity of the knobs is limited
and often it is more convenient to specify limits in terms of bytes.
This change adds the min_bytes knob.

It does not store the min_bytes value, instead it converts the max_bytes
value to a ratio. The value is therefore more an approximation than an
absolute value.

It also maintains the sum over all the bdi min_ratio values stored in
the variable bdi_min_ratio.
