Subject: [PATCH v4 07/28] netfs,
 mm: Add unlock_page_fscache() and wait_on_page_fscache()

Add unlock_page_fscache() as an alias of unlock_page_private_2().  This
allows a page 'locked' with PG_fscache to be unlocked.

Add wait_on_page_fscache() to wait for PG_fscache to be unlocked.

[Linus suggested putting the fscache-themed functions into the
 caching-specific headers rather than pagemap.h[1]]
