Subject: [PATCH] fbdefio: add set_page_dirty handler to deferred IO FB

Fixes kernel BUG at lib/radix-tree.c:473.

Previously the handler was incidentally provided by tmpfs but this was
removed with:

  commit 14fcc23fdc78e9d32372553ccf21758a9bd56fa1
  Author: Hugh Dickins <hugh@...itas.com>
  Date:   Mon Jul 28 15:46:19 2008 -0700

    tmpfs: fix kernel BUG in shmem_delete_inode

relying on this behaviour was incorrect in any case and the BUG
also appeared when the device node was on an ext3 filesystem.
