[PATCH 3/3] ext4: release block-device-mapping buffer_heads which have the filesystem
private data for avoiding oom-killer
Implement releasepage() of a client of a block device to release its private
data (journal_heads) and the page. The client is an ext4 filesystem.
This function is called from releasepage() of the block-device mapping,
blkdev_releasepage().
