Probably worth adding a Fixes tag here? Doesn't make sense to mark
something dirty when it isn't changed.

Please remove the default case. There are only three states in the enum. The
compiler will warn if a switch statement doesn't cover all cases and
we'll know to add something here if another enum value is added in the
future.

So we take the spinlock to update it here. But we don't hold the
spinlock to test for !dirty up above. Seems like either rpmh_flush() can
only be called sequentially, or the lock added here needs to be held
during the whole flush. Which way is it?
