[S390] Optimize storage key handling for anonymous pages

page_mkclean used to call page_clear_dirty for every given page. This
is different to all other architectures, where the dirty bit in the
PTEs is only resetted, if page_mapping() returns a non-NULL pointer.
We can move the page_test_dirty/page_clear_dirty sequence into the
2nd if to avoid unnecessary iske/sske sequences, which are expensive.

This change also helps kvm for s390 as the host must transfer the
dirty bit into the guest status bits. By moving the page_clear_dirty
operation into the 2nd if, the vm will only call page_clear_dirty
for pages where it walks the mapping anyway. There it calls
ptep_clear_flush for writable ptes, so we can transfer the dirty bit
to the guest.
