[PATCH] sparc64: Do not flush dcache for ZERO_PAGE.
This case actually can get exercised a lot during an ELF
coredump of a process which contains a lot of non-COW'd
anonymous pages. GDB has this test case which in partiaular
creates near terabyte process full of ZERO_PAGEes. It takes
forever to just walk through the page tables because of
all of these spurious cache flushes on sparc64.
With this change it takes only a second or so.
