add releasepage hooks to block devices which can be used by file systems
Implement blkdev_releasepage() to release the buffer_heads and pages after we release private data belonging to a mounted filesystem. Cc: Toshiyuki Okajima <toshi.okajima@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
