Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.14 92/99] fs: drop_caches: fix skipping over shadow cache inodes

From: Johannes Weiner <hannes@...xchg.org>

[ Upstream commit 16e2df2a05d46c983bf310b19432c5ca4684b2bc ]

When drop_caches truncates the page cache in an inode it also includes any
shadow entries for evicted pages.  However, there is a preliminary check
on whether the inode has pages: if it has *only* shadow entries, it will
skip running truncation on the inode and leave it behind.

Fix the check to mapping_empty(), such that it runs truncation on any
inode that has cache entries at all.
