Subject[patch] Revert "page-writeback.c: subtract min_free_kbytes from dirtyable memory"
Date
This reverts commit 75f7ad8e043d9383337d917584297f7737154bbf.  It was
the result of a problem observed with a 3.2 kernel and merged in 3.9,
while the issue had been resolved upstream in 3.3 (ab8fabd mm: exclude
reserved pages from dirtyable memory).

The "reserved pages" are a superset of min_free_kbytes, thus this
change is redundant and confusing. Revert it.
