I'm wondering why TestSet/TestClear and even the cgroup page flags for
dirty/writeback/unstable pages are necessary at all (it helps to
document in changelog if there are any). For example, VFS will call
TestSetPageDirty() before calling
mem_cgroup_inc_page_stat(MEMCG_NR_FILE_DIRTY), so there should be no
chance of false double counting.

Thanks,
