invalidate_inode_pages2(): ignore page refcounts
The recent fix to invalidate_inode_pages() (git commit 016eb4a) managed to unfix invalidate_inode_pages2(). The problem is that various bits of code in the kernel can take transient refs on pages: the page scanner will do this when inspecting a batch of pages, and the lru_cache_add() batching pagevecs also hold a ref. Net result is transient failures in invalidate_inode_pages2(). This affects NFS directory invalidation (observed) and presumably also block-backed direct-io (not yet reported). Fix it by reverting invalidate_inode_pages2() back to the old version which ignores the page refcounts. We may come up with something more clever later, but for now we need a 2.6.18 fix for NFS.
