It just set the range of the remote file to zero, but local page cache not update, then the data inconsistent with server, which leads the xfstest generic/008 failed. So we need to remove the local page caches before send SMB ioctl(FSCTL_SET_ZERO_DATA) to server. After next read, it will re-cache it.
