ext4: fix cgroup writeback accounting with fs-layer encryption

Browse source

commit ffec85d53d upstream.

When writing a page from an encrypted file that is using
filesystem-layer encryption (not inline encryption), ext4 encrypts the
pagecache page into a bounce page, then writes the bounce page.

It also passes the bounce page to wbc_account_cgroup_owner().  That's
incorrect, because the bounce page is a newly allocated temporary page
that doesn't have the memory cgroup of the original pagecache page.
This makes wbc_account_cgroup_owner() not account the I/O to the owner
of the pagecache page as it should.

Fix this by always passing the pagecache page to
wbc_account_cgroup_owner().
