Add balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() to cont_expand_zero()

On the systems, ftruncate() which expand size for FAT became the cause
of OOM.  The cont_expand_zero() filled all memory with dirty pages,
and since disk is very slow, limit of page scanning was exceeded, then
it triggered OOM.

This adds balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() to avoid filling memory
with dirty pages.
