Subject: [PATCH 5/6] Added flush_disk to factor out common buffer cache
	flushing code.

Added flush_disk to factor out common buffer cache flushing code.

We need to be able to flush the buffer cache for for more than
just when a disk is changed, so we factor out common cache flush code
in check_disk_change() to an internal flush_disk() routine.  This
routine will then be used for both disk changes and disk resizes (in a
later patch).

Include the disk name in the text indicating that there are busy
inodes on the device and increase the KERN severity of the message.
