Address the feedback from "mm/page-writeback: raise wb_thresh to prevent
write blocking with strictlimit"(39ac99852fca98ca44d52716d792dfaf24981f53).
The wb_thresh bumping logic is scattered across wb_position_ratio,
__wb_calc_thresh, and wb_update_dirty_ratelimit. For consistency,
consolidate all wb_thresh bumping logic into __wb_calc_thresh.
