block: Fix bio_flagged() so that gcc can better optimise it
Fix bio_flagged() so that multiple instances of it, such as: if (bio_flagged(bio, BIO_PAGE_REFFED) || bio_flagged(bio, BIO_PAGE_PINNED)) can be combined by the gcc optimiser into a single test in assembly (arguably, this is a compiler optimisation issue[1]). The missed optimisation stems from bio_flagged() comparing the result of the bitwise-AND to zero. This results in an out-of-line bio_release_page() being compiled to something like: <+0>: mov 0x14(%rdi),%eax <+3>: test $0x1,%al <+5>: jne 0xffffffff816dac53 <bio_release_pages+11> <+7>: test $0x2,%al <+9>: je 0xffffffff816dac5c <bio_release_pages+20> <+11>: movzbl %sil,%esi <+15>: jmp 0xffffffff816daba1 <__bio_release_pages> <+20>: jmp 0xffffffff81d0b800 <__x86_return_thunk> However, the test is superfluous as the return type is bool. Removing it results in: <+0>: testb $0x3,0x14(%rdi) <+4>: je 0xffffffff816e4af4 <bio_release_pages+15> <+6>: movzbl %sil,%esi <+10>: jmp 0xffffffff816dab7c <__bio_release_pages> <+15>: jmp 0xffffffff81d0b7c0 <__x86_return_thunk> instead. Also, the MOVZBL instruction looks unnecessary[2] - I think it's just 're-booling' the mark_dirty parameter.
