Doesn't matter now - the warning will still be there on 4.6. I think
you can simply ignore it as the XFS code appears to be handling the
dirty page that is being passed to it correctly. We'll work out what
needs to be done to get rid of the warning for this case, wether it
be a mm/ change or an XFS change.

Cheers,

Dave.
