[PATCH 1/3] drm/ttm/dma: Only call set_pages_array_wb when the page is not in WB pool.

Otherwise we are doing redundant work. Especially since the 'unbind'
and 'unpopulate' have been merged and nouveau driver ends up calling
it quite excessivly. On a GeForce 8600 GT with Gnome Shell (GNOME 3)
we end up spending about 54% CPU time in __change_page_attr_set_clr
checking the page flags.

The callgraph (annotated) looks as so before this patch:

and after this patch all of that disappears.
