I think using invalidate_inode_pages2 is the right thing to do. I'm not
so keen however on simply popping a printk when that fails. The user is
going to see that and say "huh?"

I think we need to consider allowing EBUSY bubble up to userspace
appropriately. Otherwise we still risk data coherency problems, right?
Perhaps cifs_invalidate_mapping should be changed to an int return and
the callers could return errors from it?
