mm, writeback: prevent race when calculating dirty limits
Setting vm_dirty_bytes and dirty_background_bytes is not protected by any serialization. Therefore, it's possible for either variable to change value after the test in global_dirty_limits() to determine whether available_memory needs to be initialized or not. Always ensure that available_memory is properly initialized.
