From: Toshiyuki Okajima <[email protected]>
Implement blkdev_releasepage() to release the buffer_heads and page after we
release private data which are a client's. One of the clients is a filesystem.
blkdev_releasepage() can call the client's releasepage() which is registered
by blkdev_register_client_releasepage() to release its private data.
