*
* Put the inode on the super block's dirty list.
*
* CAREFUL! We mark it dirty unconditionally, but move it onto the
* dirty list only if it is hashed or if it refers to a blockdev.
* If it was not hashed, it will never be added to the dirty list
* even if it is later hashed, as it will have been marked dirty already.
*
* In short, make sure you hash any inodes _before_ you start marking
* them dirty.
*
* This function *must* be atomic for the I_DIRTY_PAGES case -
* set_page_dirty() is called under spinlock in several places.
*
* Note that for blockdevs, inode->dirtied_when represents the dirtying time of
* the block-special inode (/dev/hda1) itself. And the ->dirtied_when field of
* the kernel-internal blockdev inode represents the dirtying time of the
* blockdev's pages. This is why for I_DIRTY_PAGES we always use
* page->mapping->host, so the page-dirtying time is recorded in the internal
* blockdev inode.
