[PATCH] call mm/page-writeback.c:set_ratelimit() when new pages are hot-added

ratelimit_pages in page-writeback.c is recalculated (in set_ratelimit())
every time a CPU is hot-added/removed.  But this value is not recalculated
when new pages are hot-added.

This patch fixes that problem by calling set_ratelimit() when new pages
are hot-added.
