Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] NFS: Fix a memory leak in nfs_readdir

We need to ensure that the entries in the nfs_cache_array get cleared
when the page is removed from the page cache. To do so, we use the
freepage address_space operation.

Change nfs_readdir_clear_array to use kmap_atomic(), so that the
function can be safely called from all contexts.

Finally, modify the cache_page_release helper to call
nfs_readdir_clear_array directly, when dealing with an anonymous
page from 'uncached_readdir'.
