Mark pages/folios accessed+dirty prior to dropping mmu_lock, as marking a page/folio dirty after it has been written back can make some filesystems unhappy (backing KVM guests will such filesystem files is uncommon, and the race is minuscule, hence the lack of complaints). See the link below for details.
This will also allow converting arm64 to kvm_release_faultin_page(), which requires that mmu_lock be held (for the aforementioned reason).
