Adding fast code paths to handle specifically only get and/or clear
operation of PAGE_IS_WRITTEN, increases its performance by 0-35%.  The
results of some test cases are given below:

Test-case-1
t1 = (Get + WP) time
t2 = WP time
                       t1            t2
Without this patch:    140-170mcs    90-115mcs
With this patch:       110mcs        80mcs
Worst case diff:       35% faster    30% faster

Test-case-2
t3 = atomic Get and WP
                      t3
Without this patch:   120-140mcs
With this patch:      100-110mcs
Worst case diff:      21% faster
