    mm: Revert accounting for WRITEBACK_TEMP in balance_dirty_pages
    
    We don't have to account WRITEBACK_TEMP in balance_dirty_pages anymore because
    of "strictlimit" feature: fuse marks its bdi with BDI_CAP_STRICTLIMIT, so
    balance_dirty_pages knows that for fuse it should always pay attention to
    per-bdi limits and counters.
    
    Kudos to Andrey Ryabinin for pointing out.
