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.
