writeback: fix calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages() for cgwb
In the commit dcc25ae76eb7 ("writeback: move global_dirty_limit into wb_domain") of the cgroup writeback backpressure propagation patchset, Tejun made some adaptations to trace_balance_dirty_pages() for cgroup writeback. However, this adaptation was incomplete and Tejun missed further adaptation in the subsequent patches. In the cgroup writeback scenario, if sdtc in balance_dirty_pages() is assigned to mdtc, then upon entering trace_balance_dirty_pages(), __entry->limit should be assigned based on the dirty_limit of the corresponding memcg's wb_domain, rather than global_wb_domain. To address this issue and simplify the implementation, introduce a 'limit' field in struct dirty_throttle_control to store the hard_limit value computed in wb_position_ratio() by calling hard_dirty_limit(). This field will then be used in trace_balance_dirty_pages() to assign the value to __entry->limit.
