Is this foliation change definitely correct? I note that set_page_dirty() is
defined as this:

bool set_page_dirty(struct page *page)
{
	return folio_mark_dirty(page_folio(page));
}

And folio_mark_dirty() is doing more than just setting teh PG_dirty bit. In my
equivalent change, as part of the contpte series, I've swapped set_page_dirty()
for folio_mark_dirty().
