fs: nfs: inform the VM about pages being committed or unstable
VM page reclaim uses dirty and writeback page states to determine if
flushers are cleaning pages too slowly and that page reclaim should
stall waiting on flushers to catch up. Page state in NFS is a bit more
complex and a clean page can be unreclaimable due to being unstable
which is effectively "dirty" from the perspective of the VM from reclaim
context. Similarly, if the inode is currently being committed then it's
similar to being under writeback.
This patch adds a is_dirty_writeback() handled for NFS that checks if a
pages backing inode is being committed and should be accounted as
writeback and if a page has private state indicating that it is
effectively dirty.
