int test_clear_page_writeback(struct page *page)

        struct address_space *mapping = page_mapping(page);
        int ret;

        if (mapping) {
                struct backing_dev_info *bdi = mapping->backing_dev_info;
                unsigned long flags;

                write_lock_irqsave(&mapping->tree_lock, flags);

                                __dec_bdi_stat(bdi, BDI_WRITEBACK);
                                __bdi_writeout_inc(bdi);

        } else {
                ret = TestClearPageWriteback(page);
        }

}

Less conditionals. We already have a branch for mapping, why create
another?
