Subject: lib: proportion: lower PROP_MAX_SHIFT to 32 on 64-bit kernel

From: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com>

commit 3310225dfc71a35a2cc9340c15c0e08b14b3c754 upstream.

PROP_MAX_SHIFT should be set to <=32 on 64-bit box. This fixes two bugs
in the below lines of bdi_dirty_limit():

	bdi_dirty *= numerator;
	do_div(bdi_dirty, denominator);

1) divide error: do_div() only uses the lower 32 bit of the denominator,
   which may trimmed to be 0 when PROP_MAX_SHIFT > 32.

2) overflow: (bdi_dirty * numerator) could easily overflow if numerator
   used up to 48 bits, leaving only 16 bits to bdi_dirty
