VFS: introduce s_dirty accessors
This patch introduces 3 VFS accessors: 'sb_mark_dirty()',
'sb_mark_clean()', and 'sb_is_dirty()'. They simply
set 'sb->s_dirt' or test 'sb->s_dirt'. The plan is to make
every FS use these accessors later instead of manipulating
the 'sb->s_dirt' flag directly.
Ultimately, this change is a preparation for the periodic
superblock synchronization optimization which is about
preventing the "sync_supers" kernel thread from waking up
even if there is nothing to synchronize.
This patch does not do any functional change, just adds
accessor functions.
