ras->bad_page_cnt_threshold is uint32_t. I'd recommend using the same 
type. Also add an empty line after the declaration to avoid a checkpatch 
warning.

Not sure how big these values can get, but you may need to cast to 
(uint64_t) before the multiplications to avoid overflows. Alternatively 
you could use (control->ras_num_recs / 9 >= threshold / 10). It'll 
round, but never overflow.

Nitpick: I'd add space after the two colons for readability. The 
threshold should use %u if you make it uint32_t. This can never be negative.
