The attached patch will do that.  Note that it's currently based on top of the
patch that drops the PG_fscache alias, so it refers to PG_private_2.

I've run all three patches through xfstests over afs, both with and without a
cache, and Jeff has tested ceph with them.

    netfs: Hold a ref on a page when PG_private_2 is set
    
    Take a reference on a page when PG_private_2 is set and drop it once the
    bit is unlocked.
