Subject: [PATCH 4/8] truncate: swap the order of conditionals in cancel_dirty_page()

cancel_dirty_page() currently performs TestClearPageDirty() and then
tests whether the mapping exists and has cap_account_dirty.  This
patch swaps the order so that it performs the mapping tests first.

If the mapping tests fail, the dirty is cleared with ClearPageDirty().
The order or the conditionals is swapped but the end result is the
same.  This will help inode foreign cgroup wb switching.
