Two fixes to fix a memory corruption bug when WC pages never get
converted back to WB but end up being recycled in the general memory
pool as WC.

There is a better way of fixing this, but there is not enough time to do
the full benchmarking to pick one of the right options - so picking the
one that favors stability for right now.
