mm: set_page_dirty_balance() vs ->page_mkwrite()



All the current page_mkwrite() implementations also set the page dirty. Which
results in the set_page_dirty_balance() call to _not_ call balance, because the
page is already found dirty.

This allows us to dirty a _lot_ of pages without ever hitting
balance_dirty_pages().  Not good (tm).

Force a balance call if ->page_mkwrite() was successful.
