How about splitting these into separate functions  as below?


exfat_set_volume_dirty()
	exfat_set_vol_flags(sb, sbi->vol_flag | VOLUME_DIRTY);

exfat_clear_volume_dirty()
	exfat_set_vol_flags(sb, sbi->vol_flag & ~VOLUME_DIRTY);

exfat_set_media_failure()
	exfat_set_vol_flags(sb, sbi->vol_flag | MEDIA_FAILURE);


The implementation is essentially the same for exfat_set_vol_flags(),
but I think the intention of the operation will be easier to understand.
