mm/page-writeback: raise wb_thresh to prevent write blocking with strictlimit
With the strictlimit flag, wb_thresh acts as a hard limit in balance_dirty_pages() and wb_position_ratio(). When device write operations are inactive, wb_thresh can drop to 0, causing writes to be blocked. The issue occasionally occurs in fuse fs, particularly with network backends, the write thread is blocked frequently during a period. To address it, this patch raises the minimum wb_thresh to a controllable level, similar to the non-strictlimit case.
