[patch 2/5] mm: writeback: make determine_dirtyable_memory static again

From: Johannes Weiner
Date: Mon Jul 25 2011 - 16:20:51 EST


From: Johannes Weiner <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The tracing ring-buffer used this function briefly, but not anymore.
Make it local to the writeback code again.

Also, move the function so that no forward declaration needs to be
reintroduced.
