Subject[PATCH 45/47] nfs: adapt congestion threshold to dirty threshold
nfs_congestion_kb is to control the max allowed writeback and in-commit
pages. It's not reasonable for them to outnumber dirty and to-commit
pages. So each of them should not take more than 1/4 dirty threshold.

Considering that nfs_init_writepagecache() is called on fresh boot,
at the time dirty_thresh is much higher than the real dirty limit after
lots of user space memory consumptions, use 1/8 instead.

We might update nfs_congestion_kb when global dirty limit is changed
at runtime, but whatever, do it simple first.
