[PATCH 02/17] mm: page_alloc: Do not treat a zone that cannot be used for dirty pages as "full"

[Mel Gorman]

If a zone cannot be used for a dirty page then it gets marked "full"
which is cached in the zlc and later potentially skipped by allocation
requests that have nothing to do with dirty zones.
