writeback: use |1 instead of +1 to protect against div by zero
mm/page-writeback.c has several places where 1 is added to the divisor
to prevent division by zero exceptions; however, if the original
divisor is equivalent to -1, adding 1 leads to division by zero.
There are three places where +1 is used for this purpose - one in
pos_ratio_polynom() and two in bdi_position_ratio(). The second one
in bdi_position_ratio() actually triggered div-by-zero oops on a
machine running a 3.10 kernel. The divisor is
x_intercept - bdi_setpoint + 1 == span + 1
span is confirmed to be (u32)-1. It isn't clear how it ended up that
but it could be from write bandwidth calculation underflow fixed by
c72efb658f7c ("writeback: fix possible underflow in write bandwidth
calculation").
At any rate, +1 isn't a proper protection against div-by-zero. This
patch converts all +1 protections to |1. Note that
bdi_update_dirty_ratelimit() was already using |1 before this patch.
