ZEN: Restore dirty (background) ratios to mainline default
As recently discovered in an issue with Zen Kernel swapping excessively with mgLRU on [1], the high dirty ratio values configured with ZEN_INTERACTIVE cause this new LRU feature to misbehave. Even if there's an issue with the implementation of Multigenerational LRU itself, using a high dirty ratio does not make sense anymore in 2021. When the high ratios were initially selected, most systems core drive was spinning rust. Now-a-days, nearly all systems are sold with a solid state drive with some systems having hard drives for non essential storage or backups. Not to mention, the storage subsystem completely changed with the introduction of blkmq [2], and interactivity optimized IO schedulers like BFQ matured and went mainline. With all of the above, there's no reason to keep the our custom ratios any longer. [1] #216 [2] https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/block/blk-mq.html
