Subject[54/99] nilfs2: fix dirty page accounting leak causing hang at write
2.6.31-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>

commit b1e19e5601277845b4f17ecd7c9ba04f73ee11aa upstream.

Bruno Prémont and Dunphy, Bill noticed me that NILFS will certainly
hang on ARM-based targets.

I found this was caused by an underflow of dirty pages counter. A
b-tree cache routine was marking page dirty without adjusting page
account information.

This fixes the dirty page accounting leak and resolves the hang on
arm-based targets.
