[PATCH] fs/buffer.c: Add checking buffer head stat before clear

[Shaokun Zhang]

From: Yang Guo <guoyang2@xxxxxxxxxx>

clear_buffer_new() is used to clear buffer new stat. When PAGE_SIZE
is 64K, most buffer heads in the list are not needed to clear.
clear_buffer_new() has an enpensive atomic modification operation,
Let's add checking buffer head before clear it as __block_write_begin_int
does which is good for performance.
