The difference is that invalidate_bdev() now always calls cleancache_invalidate_inode()
(you won't see it in this diff, it's placed after this if(mapping->nrpages){} block,)

Given that invalidate_mapping_pages() invalidates exceptional entries as well, it certainly doesn't look
right that we look only at mapping->nrpages and completely ignore ->nrexceptional.
So maybe removing if() would be a right thing to do. But I think that should be a separate patch as it would
fix a another bug probably introduced by commit 91b0abe36a7b ("mm + fs: store shadow entries in page cache")
My intention here was to fix only cleancache case.
