==================================================

Against: 2.6.26-rc5-mm3

remove redundant mapping check.

we'd be doing exactly what putback_lru_page() is doing. So, this code
as always unnecessary, duplicate code.
So, just let putback_lru_page() handle this condition and conditionally
unlock_page().
