Subject[patch 15/59] Fix up CIFS for "test_clear_page_dirty()" removal
-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Fix up CIFS for "test_clear_page_dirty()" removal

This also adds he required page "writeback" flag handling, that cifs
hasn't been doing and that the page dirty flag changes made obvious.

This fixes a long term corruption bug when copying large files to a CIFS 
mount. Thanks Linus!
