mm: memcontrol: restore proper dirty throttling when memory.high changes
Commit 8c8c383c ("mm: memcontrol: try harder to set a new memory.high") inadvertently removed a callback to recalculate the writeback cache size in light of a newly configured memory.high limit. Without letting the writeback cache know about a potentially heavily reduced limit, it may permit too many dirty pages, which can cause unnecessary reclaim latencies or even avoidable OOM situations. This was spotted while reading the code, it hasn't knowingly caused any problems in practice so far.
