[1/3] block: invalidate the page cache when issuing BLKZEROOUT.

Commit Message

Darrick J. Wong Aug. 26, 2016, 12:02 a.m. UTC

Invalidate the page cache (as a regular O_DIRECT write would do) to avoid
returning stale cache contents at a later time.

v5: Refactor the 4.4 refactoring of the ioctl code into separate functions.
Split the page invalidation and the new ioctl into separate patches.
v6: Remove the call to invalidate_inode_pages2_range since we don't need it.
