The reclaim scanner needs to sample dirty state to coordinate if early
writeback is necessary:
try_to_shrink_lruvec():
/*
* If too many file cache in the coldest generation can't be evicted
* due to being dirty, wake up the flusher.
*/
if (sc->nr.unqueued_dirty && sc->nr.unqueued_dirty == sc->nr.file_taken)
wakeup_flusher_threads(WB_REASON_VMSCAN);
