Actually the idea might not be as bad as you think.
This is because not every page that you forgot to call page_dirty on
will cause a crash.
Only the pages that had never ever had been set dirty.
So in a lot of cases the crash does not happen because the page got
dirtied by a normal path somewhere else and then cleared by normal
means, but i_wb remains with that page forever until it's fully torn down
from the pagecache.
