[PATCH] set_page_dirty() return value fixes
We need set_page_dirty() to return true if it actually transitioned the page
from a clean to dirty state. This wasn't right in a couple of places. Do a
kernel-wide audit, fix things up.
This leaves open the possibility of returning a negative errno from
set_page_dirty() sometime in the future. But we don't do that at present.
