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.
