[GIT PULL] writeback fixes for v3.9-rc1

[Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com>]

Hi Linus,

Here are 2 writeback fixes.

Please be prepared for a merge conflict in fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c as
occured/resolved in linux-next's merge commit 6ae374247bfd8 ("Merge
remote-tracking branch 'writeback/writeback-for-next'").

Thanks,
Fengguang

  Negative (setpoint-dirty) in bdi_position_ratio() (2013-01-24 22:22:22 +0800)

----------------------------------------------------------------
2 writeback fixes
- fix negative (setpoint - dirty) in 32bit archs
- use down_read_trylock() in writeback_inodes_sb(_nr)_if_idle()

----------------------------------------------------------------
Miao Xie (1):
      vfs: re-implement writeback_inodes_sb(_nr)_if_idle() and rename them

paul.szabo@sydney.edu.au (1):
      Negative (setpoint-dirty) in bdi_position_ratio()

(Yeah I'm aware of that broken author name and tried to fix it, however just
 found that the fixing commit lies in "* (no branch)" and now it's a bit late
 to update the "writeback-for-next" branch).
