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.
