Re-introduce page mapping check in mark_buffer_dirty()

In commit a8e7d49a ("Fix race in
create_empty_buffers() vs __set_page_dirty_buffers()"), I removed a test
for a NULL page mapping unintentionally when some of the code inside
__set_page_dirty() was moved to the callers.

That removal generally didn't matter, since a filesystem would serialize
truncation (which clears the page mapping) against writing (which marks
the buffer dirty), so locking at a higher level (either per-page or an
inode at a time) should mean that the buffer page would be stable.  And
indeed, nothing bad seemed to happen.

Except it turns out that apparently reiserfs does something odd when
under load and writing out the journal, and we have a number of bugzilla
entries that look similar:

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13556
	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13756
	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13876

and it looks like reiserfs depended on that check (the common theme
seems to be "data=journal", and a journal writeback during a truncate).

I suspect reiserfs should have some additional locking, but in the
meantime this should get us back to the pre-2.6.29 behavior.
