Subject: [PATCH 3/7] Make TestSetPageDirty and dirty page accounting in one func

From: Sha Zhengju <handai.szj@...bao.com>

Commit a8e7d49a(Fix race in create_empty_buffers() vs __set_page_dirty_buffers())
extracts TestSetPageDirty from __set_page_dirty and is far away from
account_page_dirtied.But it's better to make the two operations in one single
function to keep modular.So in order to avoid the potential race mentioned in
commit a8e7d49a, we can hold private_lock until __set_page_dirty completes.
I guess there's no deadlock between ->private_lock and ->tree_lock by quick look.

It's a prepare patch for following memcg dirty page accounting patches.
