writeback: reset wb_domain->dirty_limit[_tstmp] when memcg domain size changes
The amount of available memory to a memcg wb_domain can change as memcg configuration changes. A domain's ->dirty_limit exists to smooth out sudden drops in dirty threshold; however, when a domain's size actually drops significantly, it hinders the dirty throttling from adjusting to the new configuration leading to unexpected behaviors including unnecessary OOM kills. This patch resolves the issue by adding wb_domain_size_changed() which resets ->dirty_limit[_tstmp] and making memcg call it on configuration changes.
