Calculation error of progress class for Rule PROGRESS notifications
Motivation
----------
The progress class is calculated like `int(float(replicating_locks) / float(total_locks) * 10) * 10`

Modification
------------
It should be calculated like `int(float(total_locks - replicating_locks) / float(total_locks) * 10) * 10`
