mm, truncate: do not check mapping for every page being truncated

During truncation, the mapping has already been checked for shmem and
dax so it's known that workingset_update_node is required.

This patch avoids the checks on mapping for each page being truncated.
In all other cases, a lookup helper is used to determine if
workingset_update_node() needs to be called.  The one danger is that the
API is slightly harder to use as calling workingset_update_node directly
without checking for dax or shmem mappings could lead to surprises.
However, the API rarely needs to be used and hopefully the comment is
enough to give people the hint.

As you'd expect, the gain is marginal but it can be detected.  The
differences in bonnie are all within the noise which is not surprising
given the impact on the microbenchmark.

radix_tree_update_node_t is a callback for some radix operations that
optionally passes in a private field.  The only user of the callback is
workingset_update_node and as it no longer requires a mapping, the
private field is removed.
