Subject: mm: task dirty accounting fix
From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@xxxxxxx>
YAMAMOTO-san noticed that task_dirty_inc doesn't seem to be called properly for
cases where set_page_dirty is not used to dirty a page (eg. mark_buffer_dirty).
Additionally, there is some inconsistency about when task_dirty_inc is
called. It is used for dirty balancing, however it even gets called for
__set_page_dirty_no_writeback.
So rather than increment it in a set_page_dirty wrapper, move it down to
exactly where the dirty page accounting stats are incremented.
