    balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited doesn't really need mapping as well. All
    it needs is the inode and we already have it in callers. So would it
    make sense to refactor a bit further and make its argument an inode?

    My only concern is that, balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() is an
    exported function so changing its signature could potentially break
    some drivers?
