Subject: Revert "f2fs: use percpu_counter for # of dirty pages in inode"
From: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 204706c7accfabb67b97eef9f9a28361b6201199 upstream.
This reverts commit 1beba1b3a953107c3ff5448ab4e4297db4619c76.
The perpcu_counter doesn't provide atomicity in single core and consume more
DRAM. That incurs fs_mark test failure due to ENOMEM.
