What is optimized by checking indirect_shadow_pages instead of
have_rmaps and what's the benefit? Smells like a premature optimization.

This should be a separate commit since it's a logically distinct change
and no dependency on the other change in this commit (other than both
touch the same function).

Splitting the commits up will also make it easier to write more specific
short logs (instead of "optimize a little bit" :)

Also, the commit re-orders kvm_age_gfn() as well but the commit message
only mentions kvm_test_age_gfn(). No objection to keeping the two
functions consistent but it should be called out in the commit message.

nit: A short comment here might be helpful to explain why young is
checked.
