Or just show the same values that we show in /proc/meminfo.. (I mean,
not actually the same, but coherent with them).

Agreed. Returning false from mem_cgroup_has_dirty_limit() is enough to
always use global stats for the writeback, so this shouldn't introduce
any overhead for the root cgroup (at least for this part).
