Minchan Kim 169ddec367 FROMLIST: mm: fs: Invalidate BH LRU during page migration ...

Pages containing buffer_heads that are in one of the per-CPU
buffer_head LRU caches will be pinned and thus cannot be migrated.
This can prevent CMA allocations from succeeding, which are often used
on platforms with co-processors (such as a DSP) that can only use
physically contiguous memory. It can also prevent memory
hot-unplugging from succeeding, which involves migrating at least
MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE bytes of memory, which ranges from 8 MiB to 1
GiB based on the architecture in use.

Correspondingly, invalidate the BH LRU caches before a migration
starts and stop any buffer_head from being cached in the LRU caches,
until migration has finished.
