    x86/shadow: defer/avoid paging_mfn_is_dirty() invocation
    
    paging_mfn_is_dirty() is moderately expensive, so avoid its use unless
    its result might actually change anything. This means moving the
    surrounding if() down below all other checks that can result in clearing
    _PAGE_RW from sflags, in order to then check whether _PAGE_RW is
    actually still set there before calling the function.
    
    While moving the block of code, fold two if()s and make a few style
    adjustments.
