it's too early to set the radix tree tag here. We should set page's
snapshot context and increase the i_wrbuffer_ref first. This is because
once the tag is set, writeback thread can find and start flushing the page.

this code was coped from __set_page_dirty_nobuffers(). I think the reason
Sage did this is to handle the race described in
__set_page_dirty_nobuffers()'s comment. But I'm wonder if "page->mapping ==
NULL" can still happen here. Because truncate_inode_page() unmap page from
processes's address spaces first, then delete page from page cache.
