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.
