virtually all dup pages are zero pages. remove the special is_dup_page() function and use the optimized buffer_find_nonzero_offset() function instead.
here buffer_find_nonzero_offset() is used directly to avoid the unnecssary additional checks in buffer_is_zero(). raw performace gain checking zeroed memory over is_dup_page() is approx. 15-20% with SSE2.
