Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ntfs: use add_to_page_cache_lru


While I discuss exportable add_to_page_cache_lru, 
http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=127047788612445&w=2
I found that 
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-btrfs@vger.kernel.org/msg04472.html.

Let's change to use it in ntfs.

== CUT_HERE ==

Quote from Nick piggin's about btrfs patch
- http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-btrfs@vger.kernel.org/msg04472.html.

"add_to_page_cache_lru is exported, so it should be used. Benefits over
using a private pagevec: neater code, 128 bytes fewer stack used, percpu
lru ordering is preserved, and finally don't need to flush pagevec
before returning so batching may be shared with other LRU insertions."

Let's use it instead of private pagevec in ntfs, too.
