RFR: 8079315: UseCondCardMark broken in conjunction with CMS precleaning

[Vitaly Davidovich]

Mikael's suggestion was to make mutator check for !clean and then mark
dirty.  If it sees stale dirty, it will write dirty again no?  Today's code
would have this problem because it's checking for !dirty, but I thought the
suggested change would prevent that.
