__invalidate_device without the kill_dirty parameter just invalidates various clean entries in caches, which doesn't really help us with anything, but can cause all kinds of horrible lock orders due to how it calls into the file system. The only reason this hasn't been a major issue is because so many people use partitions, for which no invalidation was performed anyway.
