OK, there's a better way to handle all of this.

First, an essentially untyped interface with a void * argument is
bad.  Second, we can do all this with invalidate_inode_pages2_range()
and invalidate_mapping_pages() without introducing a new function.

Here's the proposal:

void super_drop_pagecache(struct super_block *sb,
		int (*invalidate)(struct address_space *, pgoff_t start, pgoff_t end))

In fs/drop-caches.c:

static void drop_pagecache_sb(struct super_block *sb, void *unused)
{
	super_drop_pagecache(sb, invalidate_mapping_pages);
}

In XFS:

		super_drop_pagecache(mp->m_super,
				invalidate_inode_pages2_range);

Much smaller change ...
