Thanks for doing this.

We've got releasepage, invalidatepage, and now release, all with
slightly different semantics and some complex interactions with the rest
of the VM.

One problem I have with the btrfs extent state code is that I might
choose to release the extent state in releasepage, but the VM might not
choose to free the page.  So I've got an up to date page without any of
the rest of my state.

Which of these ops covers that? ;)  I'd love to help better document the
requirements for these callbacks, I find it confusing every time.
