Change the definition of EXTENT_PAGE_PRIVATE so the cast is not
needed? Nothing ever reads EXTENT_PAGE_PRIVATE; it's only there to
set the private flag for other code to check and release the extent
mapping reference to the page...

This is just:
		set_fs_page_private(newpage, clear_fs_page_private(page));
