Nick Bowler reported another sparc64 breakage after the young/dirty persistent work for page migration (per "Link:" below). That's after a similar report [2]. It turns out page migration was overlooked, and it wasn't failing before because page migration was not enabled in the initial report test environment. David proposed another way [2] to fix this from sparc64 side, but that patch didn't land somehow. Neither did I check whether there's any other arch that has similar issues. Let's fix it for now as simple as moving the write bit handling to be after dirty, like what we did before. Note: this is based on mm-unstable, because the breakage was since 6.1 and we're at a very late stage of 6.2 (-rc8), so I assume for this specific case we should target this at 6.3.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
