[PATCH 1/7] mm: Set the pte dirty if the folio is already dirty

["Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@infradead.org>]

If the first access to a folio is a read that is then followed by a
write, we can save a page fault.  s390 implemented this in their
mk_pte() in commit abf09bed3cce ("s390/mm: implement software dirty
bits"), but other architectures can also benefit from this.
