    wb_position_ratio() is used to calculate pos_ratio, which is used for
    two purposes.  wb_update_dirty_ratelimit() uses it to adjust
    wb->[balanced_]dirty_ratelimit gradually and balance_dirty_pages() to
    immediately adjust dirty_ratelimit right before applying it to
    determine pause duration.
    
    While wb_update_dirty_ratelimit() is separately rate limited from
    balance_dirty_pages(), on the run where the ratelimit is updated, we
    end up calculating pos_ratio twice with the same parameters.
    
    This patch adds dirty_throttle_control->pos_ratio.
    balance_dirty_pages() calculates it once per run and
    wb_update_dirty_ratelimit() uses the value stored in
    dirty_throttle_control.
    
    This removes the duplicate calculation and also will help implementing
    memcg wb_domain.
