page_writeback: revive cancel_dirty_page() in a restricted form
cancel_dirty_page() had some issues and b9ea25152e56 ("page_writeback: clean up mess around cancel_dirty_page()") replaced it with account_page_cleaned() which makes the caller responsible for clearing the dirty bit; unfortunately, the planned changes for cgroup writeback support requires synchronization between dirty bit manipulation and stat updates. While we can open-code such synchronization in each account_page_cleaned() callsite, that's gonna be unnecessarily awkward and verbose. This patch revives cancel_dirty_page() but in a more restricted form. All it does is TestClearPageDirty() followed by account_page_cleaned() invocation if the page was dirty. This helper covers all account_page_cleaned() usages except for __delete_from_page_cache() which is a special case anyway and left alone. As this leaves no module user for account_page_cleaned(), EXPORT_SYMBOL() is dropped from it. This patch just revives cancel_dirty_page() as a trivial wrapper to replace equivalent usages and doesn't introduce any functional changes.
