Pages that are written to swap are owned by the MM subsystem - not any
filesystem.
When such a page is passed to a filesystem to be written out to a
swap-file, the filesystem handles the data, but the page itself does not
belong to the filesystem. So calling the filesystem's set_page_dirty
address_space operation makes no sense. This is for pages in the given
address space, and a page to be written to swap does not exist in the
given address space.
So drop swap_set_page_dirty() which calls the address-space's
set_page_dirty, and alway use __set_page_dirty_no_writeback, which is
appropriate for pages being swapped out.
