- Don't do flush_page_to_ram() on the page fault-in path. That's
handled in mm/memory.c, and filemap.c doesn't need to do it.
- In generic_file_write(), only set the page's Referenced bit once,
when the write touches the start of the page. This is a
microoptimisation. Seemingly a buggy one too - lseek exists...
