3.16.60-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Jeff Moyer jmoyer@redhat.com
commit 3172485f4f8032649c144e4aafa550e1e6179332 upstream.
Prior to commit d47992f86b30 ("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.
