writeback: fix incorrect calculation of available memory for memcg domains

For memcg domains, the amount of available memory was calculated as

 min(the amount currently in use + headroom according to memcg,
     total clean memory)

This isn't quite correct as what should be capped by the amount of
clean memory is the headroom, not the sum of memory in use and
headroom.  For example, if a memcg domain has a significant amount of
dirty memory, the above can lead to a value which is lower than the
current amount in use which doesn't make much sense.  In most
circumstances, the above leads to a number which is somewhat but not
drastically lower.

As the amount of memory which can be readily allocated to the memcg
domain is capped by the amount of system-wide clean memory which is
not already assigned to the memcg itself, the number we want is

 the amount currently in use +
 min(headroom according to memcg, clean memory elsewhere in the system)

This patch updates mem_cgroup_wb_stats() to return the number of
filepages and headroom instead of the calculated available pages.
mdtc_cap_avail() is renamed to mdtc_calc_avail() and performs the
above calculation from file, headroom, dirty and globally clean pages.

v2: Dummy mem_cgroup_wb_stats() implementation wasn't updated leading
    to build failure when !CGROUP_WRITEBACK.  Fixed.
