[PATCH 2/3] mm: Remove unlikely() from page_mapping()

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

page_mapping() has a unlikely that the mapping has PAGE_MAPPING_ANON
set. But running the annotated branch profiler on a normal desktop
system doing vairous tasks (xchat, evolution, firefox, distcc),
it is not really that unlikely that the mapping here will have the
PAGE_MAPPING_ANON flag set:

The page_mapping() is a static inline, which is why it shows up multiple
times.

The unlikely in page_mapping() was correct a total of 1909540379 times and
incorrect 1270533123 times, with a 39% being incorrect. With this much of an
error, it's best to simply remove the unlikely and have the compiler and
branch prediction figure this out.
