I_DIRTY_ALL consists of I_DIRTY_TIME and I_DIRTY, so I_DIRTY_TIME must
be set when any bit of I_DIRTY_ALL is set but I_DIRTY is not set.

NAK.

The code is correct and the behaviour that is intended it obvious
from the code as it stands.

It is -incorrect- to move any inode that does not have I_DIRTY_TIME
to the wb->b_dirty_time list. By removing the I_DIRTY_TIME guard
from this code, you are leaving a nasty, undocumented logic trap in
the code that somebody is guaranteed to trip over into in the
future. That's making the code worse, not better....

Sure, I will remove this one in next version. Thanks for the
explanation.
