Subject: [PATCH 14/23] workingset: Use xas_store_noinit() to clear shadow entry

Shadow entries have no marks. Use xas_store_noinit() to clear the entry
so avoid unneeded initialization of the xarray marks. This provides a
nice boost to truncate numbers. Sample benchmark showing time to
truncate 128 files 1GB each on machine with 64GB of RAM (so about half
of entries are shadow entries):

         AVG      STDDEV
Vanilla  4.825s   0.036
Patched  4.516s   0.014

So we can see about 6% reduction in overall truncate time.
