This kind of accouting shouldn't be a big problem for the dirty memory
write-out. The benefit in terms of performance is much more important I
think.

The missing accounting of root cgroup statistics could be an issue if we
move a lot of pages from root cgroup into a child cgroup (when migration
of file cache pages will be supported and enabled). But at worst we'll
continue to write-out pages using the global settings. Remember that
memcg dirty memory is always the min(memcg_dirty_memory, total_dirty_memory),
so even if we're leaking dirty memory accounting at worst we'll touch
the global dirty limit and fallback to the current write-out
implementation.

I'll merge this patch, re-run some tests (kernel build and large file
copy) and post a new version.

Unfortunately at the moment I've not a big machine to use for these
tests, but maybe I can get some help. Vivek has probably a nice hardware
to test this code.. ;)

Thanks!
