The correct folio replacement for "set_page_dirty()" is
"folio_mark_dirty()", not "folio_set_dirty()".  Using the latter won't
properly inform the FS using the dirty_folio() callback.

This has been found by code inspection, but likely this can result in some
real trouble when zapping dirty PTEs that point at clean pagecache folios.

Yuezhang Mo said: "Without this fix, testing the latest exfat with
xfstests, test cases generic/029 and generic/030 will fail."
