A cleanup of try_to_unmap. I have not identified any races that this
would solve, but for consistencies sake.

Also includes a small s390 optimization by moving
page_test_and_clear_dirty() out of the vma iteration.


From: Peter Zijlstra <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

We clear the page in the following sequence:
  ClearPageDirty - lock ptl, clear pte, unlock ptl

hence we should dirty in the opposite order:
  lock ptl, clear pte, unlock ptl - SetPageDirty

try_to_unmap_one violates this by doing the SetPageDirty under the ptl.

Also move page_test_and_clear_dirty() to try_to_unmap().
