[PATCH 2/3] writeback: allow for dirty metadata accounting

[Josef Bacik <jbacik@fb.com>]

Provide a mechanism for file systems to indicate how much dirty metadata they
are holding.  This introduces a few things

1) Zone stats for dirty metadata, which is the same as the NR_FILE_DIRTY.
2) WB stat for dirty metadata.  This way we know if we need to try and call into
the file system to write out metadata.  This could potentially be used in the
future to make balancing of dirty pages smarter.
