Subject: [PATCH v4] ceph: invalidate pages when doing direct/sync writes

When doing a direct/sync write, we need to invalidate the page cache in
the range being written to.  If we don't do this, the cache will include
invalid data as we just did a write that avoided the page cache.

Changes since v3:
- Dropped initial call to invalidate_inode_pages2_range()
- Added extra comment to document invalidation

Changes since v2:
- Invalidation needs to be done after a write

Changes since v1:
- Replaced truncate_inode_pages_range() by invalidate_inode_pages2_range
- Call fscache_invalidate with FSCACHE_INVAL_DIO_WRITE if we're doing DIO
