Subject: block_invalidatepage(): only release page if the full page was invalidated
Prior to d47992f86b307 ("mm: change invalidatepage prototype to accept
length"), an offset of 0 meant that the full page was being invalidated.
After that commit, we need to instead check the length.
Jan said:
: The only possible issue is that try_to_release_page() was called more
: often than necessary. Otherwise the issue is harmless but still it's good
: to have this fixed.
