Subject: [RFC PATCH V2 1/9] include/linux/pagemap.h: introduce attach/clear_page_private

The logic in attach_page_buffers and  __clear_page_buffers are quite
paired, but

1. they are located in different files.

2. attach_page_buffers is implemented in buffer_head.h, so it could be
   used by other files. But __clear_page_buffers is static function in
   buffer.c and other potential users can't call the function, md-bitmap
   even copied the function.

So, introduce the new attach/clear_page_private to replace them. With
the new pair of function, we will remove the usage of attach_page_buffers
and  __clear_page_buffers in next patches. Thanks for the new names from
Christoph Hellwig.
