I used the variable just to avoid having to split the function call into
multiple lines. I.e., it just looked more readable to me than:

               if (wpc->ops->discard_page)
                        wpc->ops->discard_page(page,
                                               offset_in_page(file_offset));

I can change it back if that is preferred (or possibly use a function
pointer variable instead). I suppose that's also avoided by passing
file_offset directly, but that seems a little odd to me for a page
oriented callback.
