mm for fs: add truncate_pagecache_range()
Holepunching filesystems ext4 and xfs are using truncate_inode_pages_range
but forgetting to unmap pages first (ocfs2 remembers). This is not really
a bug, since races already require truncate_inode_page() to handle that
case once the page is locked; but it can be very inefficient if the file
being punched happens to be mapped into many vmas.
Provide a drop-in replacement truncate_pagecache_range() which does the
unmapping pass first, handling the awkward mismatch between arguments to
truncate_inode_pages_range() and arguments to unmap_mapping_range().
Note that holepunching does not unmap privately COWed pages in the range:
POSIX requires that we do so when truncating, but it's hard to justify,
difficult to implement without an i_size cutoff, and no filesystem is
attempting to implement it.
