mm/page-writeback.c: initialize m_dirty to avoid compile warning
When building kernel with gcc 5.2, the below warning is raised:
mm/page-writeback.c: In function 'balance_dirty_pages.isra.10':
mm/page-writeback.c:1545:17: warning: 'm_dirty' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
unsigned long m_dirty, m_thresh, m_bg_thresh;
The m_dirty{thresh, bg_thresh} are initialized in the block of "if
(mdtc)", so if mdts is null, they won't be initialized before being used.
Initialize m_dirty to zero, also initialize m_thresh and m_bg_thresh to
keep consistency.
They are used later by if condition: !mdtc || m_dirty <=
dirty_freerun_ceiling(m_thresh, m_bg_thresh)
If mdtc is null, dirty_freerun_ceiling will not be called at all, so the
initialization will not change any behavior other than just ceasing the
compile warning.
(akpm: the patch actually reduces .text size by ~20 bytes on gcc-4.x.y)
