page-writeback.c: subtract min_free_kbytes from dirtyable memory
When calculating amount of dirtyable memory, min_free_kbytes should be
subtracted because it is not intended for dirty pages.
Addresses http://bugs.debian.org/695182
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix up min_free_kbytes extern declarations]
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix min() warning]
