__nilfs_clear_page_dirty() clears PageDirty, does it need modification
for this patch series?

What you do think about adding a WARN_ON_ONCE() here to check for
underflow? A check might help catch:
a) unresolved races between move accounting vs setting/clearing
dirtying.
b) future modifications that mess with PageDirty/Writeback flags without
considering memcg.

Is (!anon && PageDirty(page)) better? If dirty anon pages are moved
between memcg M1 and M2 I think that we'd mistakenly underflow M1 if it
was not previously accounting for the dirty anon page.
