This adds a function to return the specified value for max_bytes. It
converts the stored max_ratio of the bdi to the corresponding bytes
value. It introduces the bdi_get_bytes helper function to do the
conversion. This is an approximation as it is based on the value that is
returned by global_dirty_limits(), which can change. The helper function
will also be used by the min_bytes bdi knob.

We don't use unsigned long long much.  If you want a 64-bit unsigned,
use u64?

Is this symbol to be used by modules?

The next version will use u64.

The next version will remove the export.
