Hmmm... as replace_page_cache_page() is used only by fuse and fuse's
bdi doesn't go through the usual writeback accounting which is
necessary for cgroup writeback support anyway, so I don't think this
presents an actual problem. I'll add a warning in
replace_page_cache_page() which triggers when it's used on a bdi which
has cgroup writeback enabled and add comments explaining what's going
on.

Thanks.
