  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.

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

Great, thanks for testing and for providing actual reproducers!
