From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 2f33a706027c94cd4f70fcd3e3f4a17c1ce4ea4b ] When collapse_file() calls try_to_release_page(), it has already isolated the page: so if releasing buffers happens to fail (as it sometimes does), remember to putback_lru_page(): otherwise that page is left unreclaimable and unfreeable, and the file extent uncollapsible.
