mm: Account dirty folios properly during splits 

If the last folio in a file is split as a result of truncation,
we simply clear the dirty bits for the pages we're discarding.
That causes NR_FILE_DIRTY (among other counters) to be thrown off
and eventually Linux will hang in balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited()
