No. set_page_writeback() needs to be called before submit_bio() is
called.
I don't think there is any harm in calling set_page_writeback(),
redirty_page_for_writeback() and end_page_writeback() in the case where
there is no I/O to submit, and some dirty data cannot be written. It is
consistent with what happens in __block_write_full_page().
It's also possible that some part of the page was written, and another
part cannot be, causing the page to be redirtied.
