Fix SlowdownAmount

Summary:
This had a few bugs.
1) bottom and top were reversed. top is for the max value but the callers were passing the max
value to bottom. The result is that the max sleep is used when n >= bottom.
2) one of the callers passed values with type double and these values are frequently between
1.0 and 2.0 so rounding will do some bad things
3) sometimes the function returned 0 when there should be a stall

With this change and one other diff (out for review soon) there are slightly fewer stalls on one workload.

With the fix.
Stalls(secs): 160.166 level0_slowdown, 0.000 level0_numfiles, 0.000 memtable_compaction, 58.495 leveln_slowdown
Stalls(count): 910261 level0_slowdown, 0 level0_numfiles, 0 memtable_compaction, 54526 leveln_slowdown

Without the fix.
Stalls(secs): 172.227 level0_slowdown, 0.000 level0_numfiles, 0.000 memtable_compaction, 56.538 leveln_slowdown
Stalls(count): 160831 level0_slowdown, 0 level0_numfiles, 0 memtable_compaction, 52845 leveln_slowdown
