mm: page_alloc: cache the last node whose dirty limit is reached
If a page is about to be dirtied then the page allocator attempts to
limit the total number of dirty pages that exists in any given zone.
The call to node_dirty_ok is expensive so this patch records if the last
pgdat examined hit the dirty limits. In some cases, this reduces the
number of calls to node_dirty_ok().
