Add clear_dirty_for_io_stats() which clears dirty stats corresponding to
a folio.
The main use case for this is for filesystems that implement granular
dirty writeback for large folios. This allows them (after setting the
wbc no_stats_accounting bitfield) to update dirty writeback stats only
for the pages in the folio that are written back instead of for the
entire folio, which helps enforce more accurate / less conservative
dirty page balancing.
