I wonder whether it'd be better if the bool arg is flipped to something like
`bool include_writeback` so that it's clear what the difference is between
the two. Also, do global_domain_dirty_avail() and wb_domain_dirty_avail()
have to be separate functions? They seem trivial enough to include into the
body of domain_dirty_avail(). Are they used directly elsewhere?

I know this test is used elsewhere but it isn't the most intuitive. Would it
make sense to add dtc_is_global() (or dtc_is_gdtc()) helper instead?

Thanks.
