mm: use part per 1000000 for bdi ratios

To get finer granularity for ratio calculations use part per million
instead of percentiles. This is especially important if we want to
automatically convert byte values to ratios. Otherwise the values that
are actually used can be quite different. This is also important for
machines with more main memory (1% of 256GB is already 2.5GB).
