Adding ZERO_PAGE detection
On some architectures ZERO_PAGE is unavailable because it references
a GPL exported symbol of empty_zero_page. Originally e08b993 removed
the call to PAGE_ZERO(0) for assignment to the abd_zero_page. However,
a simple check can be done to avoid a kernel allocation and free for
the abd_zero_page if ZERO_PAGE is available.
