set_page_dirty says: For pages with a mapping this should be done under the page lock for the benefit of asynchronous memory errors who prefer a consistent dirty state. This rule can be broken in some special cases, but should be better not to. If the mapping doesn't provide a set_page_dirty a_op, then just fall through and assume that it wants buffer_heads. Under those rules, it only safe for us to use the plain set_page_dirty() calls for shmemfs/anonymous memory. Userptr may be used with real mappings and so needs to use the locked version (set_page_dirty_lock).
