lib: proportion: lower PROP_MAX_SHIFT to 32 on 64-bit kernel
PROP_MAX_SHIFT should be set to <=32 on 64-bit box. This fixes two bugs
in the below lines of bdi_dirty_limit():
bdi_dirty *= numerator;
do_div(bdi_dirty, denominator);
1) divide error: do_div() only uses the lower 32 bit of the denominator,
which may trimmed to be 0 when PROP_MAX_SHIFT > 32.
2) overflow: (bdi_dirty * numerator) could easily overflow if numerator
used up to 48 bits, leaving only 16 bits to bdi_dirty
