From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: fs: remove anon_set_page_dirty()
Use __set_page_dirty_no_writeback() instead. This will set the dirty bit
on the page, which will be used to avoid calling set_page_dirty() in the
future. It will have no effect on actually writing the page back, as the
pages are not on any LRU lists.
