Subject: [PATCH 01/15 v2] mm: add invalidatepage_range address space operation

Currently there is no way to truncate partial page where the end
truncate point is not at the end of the page. This is because it was not
needed and the functionality was enough for file system truncate
operation to work properly. However more file systems now support punch
hole feature and it can benefit from mm supporting truncating page just
up to the certain point.

Specifically, with this functionality truncate_inode_pages_range() can
be changed so it supports truncating partial page at the end of the
range (currently it will BUG_ON() if 'end' is not at the end of the
page).

This commit add new address space operation invalidatepage_range which
allows specifying length of bytes to invalidate, rather than assuming
truncate to the end of the page. It also introduce
block_invalidatepage_range() and do_invalidatepage)range() functions for
exactly the same reason.

The caller does not have to implement both aops (invalidatepage and
invalidatepage_range) and the latter is preferred. The old method will be
used only if invalidatepage_range is not implemented by the caller.
