mm: remove unlikely() from page_mapping()
page_mapping() has a unlikely that the mapping has PAGE_MAPPING_ANON set. But running the annotated branch profiler on a normal desktop system doing vairous tasks (xchat, evolution, firefox, distcc), it is not really that unlikely that the mapping here will have the PAGE_MAPPING_ANON flag set: correct incorrect % Function File Line ------- --------- - -------- ---- ---- 35935762 1270265395 97 page_mapping mm.h 659 1306198001 143659 0 page_mapping mm.h 657 203131478 121586 0 page_mapping mm.h 657 5415491 1116 0 page_mapping mm.h 657 74899487 1116 0 page_mapping mm.h 657 203132845 224 0 page_mapping mm.h 659 5415464 27 0 page_mapping mm.h 659 13552 0 0 page_mapping mm.h 657 13552 0 0 page_mapping mm.h 659 242630 0 0 page_mapping mm.h 657 242630 0 0 page_mapping mm.h 659 74899487 0 0 page_mapping mm.h 659 The page_mapping() is a static inline, which is why it shows up multiple times. The unlikely in page_mapping() was correct a total of 1909540379 times and incorrect 1270533123 times, with a 39% being incorrect. With this much of an error, it's best to simply remove the unlikely and have the compiler and branch prediction figure this out.
