Just added the above checks. Now balance_dirty_pages() for XFS 
works in a much larger 1536 chunk size :)

[   40.374081] redirty_tail() +516: inode=131
[   40.374951] mm/page-writeback.c +543 balance_dirty_pages(): comm=cp pid=3296 n=1536
[   40.377001] global dirty=49818 writeback=17027 nfs=0 flags=CM towrite=0 skipped=0
