[PATCH v3 11/11] memcg: check memcg dirty limits in page writeback

[Greg Thelen]

If the current process is in a non-root memcg, then
global_dirty_limits() will consider the memcg dirty limit.
This allows different cgroups to have distinct dirty limits
which trigger direct and background writeback at different
levels.

Changelog since v1:
- Removed unnecessary get_ prefix from get_xxx() functions.
