It's not redundant; it avoids dirtying the cacheline if the folio
is already marked as dirty.

Ok, Is it necessary to add comments here to explain and avoid readers'
misunderstandings? E.g. 'Avoid dirtying the cacheline if the folio is
already marked as dirty.'

No, it's a fairly common pattern to test-and-test-and-set(or clear)
