Martin Schwidefsky a4b526b3ba [S390] Optimize storage key operations for anon pages
For anonymous pages without a swap cache backing the check in
page_remove_rmap for the physical dirty bit in page_remove_rmap is
unnecessary. The instructions that are used to check and reset the dirty
bit are expensive. Removing the check noticably speeds up process exit.
In addition the clearing of the dirty bit in __SetPageUptodate is
pointless as well. With these two changes there is no storage key
operation for an anonymous page anymore if it does not hit the swap
space.

The micro benchmark which repeatedly executes an empty shell script
gets about 5% faster.
