    buf: Fix the dirtybufthresh check
    
    dirtybufthresh is a watermark, slightly below the high watermark for
    dirty buffers.  When a delayed write is issued, the dirtying thread will
    start flushing buffers if the dirtybufthresh watermark is reached.  This
    helps ensure that the high watermark is not reached, otherwise
    performance will degrade as clustering and other optimizations are
    disabled (see buf_dirty_count_severe()).
    
    When the buffer cache was partitioned into "domains", the dirtybufthresh
    threshold checks were not updated.  Fix this.
