Subject: [PATCH v5 1/2] block: invalidate the page cache when issuing
 BLKZEROOUT.

Invalidate the page cache (as a regular O_DIRECT write would do) to avoid
returning stale cache contents at a later time.

v5: Refactor the 4.4 refactoring of the ioctl code into separate functions.
Split the page invalidation and the new ioctl into separate patches.
