Oww, good that you alert me to this bug. It makes no sense to
clear the bit there since we may have dirty pages in both the
filecache and the swapcache...
(well, it doesn't cause any bugs, but it could add some nasty
surprises later when we change the code so we can have dirty
pages in all the caches)
