doc: clarify the behaviour of dirty_ratio/dirty_bytes
When dirty_ratio or dirty_bytes is written the other parameter is disabled
and set to 0 (in dirty_bytes_handler() / dirty_ratio_handler()).
We do the same for dirty_background_ratio and dirty_background_bytes.
However, in the sysctl documentation, we say that the counterpart becomes
a function of the old value, that is not correct.
Clarify the documentation reporting the actual behaviour.
