Subject: [PATCH 1/3] writeback: change nr_pages_dirtied argument into local variable

There is no reason nr_pages_dirtied is argument anymore.
because nr_pages_dirtied value from caller is not used in
balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_nr function.

Looks good to me. If the fs developers don't have problems with this,
I'll apply it to the writeback tree.
