[It seems beneficial to queue this simple trace event for
next/upstream after the review?]
Add trace event balance_dirty_state for showing the global dirty page
counts and thresholds at each global_dirty_limits() invocation. This
will cover the callers throttle_vm_writeout(), over_bground_thresh()
and each balance_dirty_pages() loop.
