[PATCHv4 12/43] truncate: make sure invalidate_mapping_pages() can discard huge pages

[Kirill A. Shutemov]

invalidate_inode_page() has expectation about page_count() of the page
-- if it's not 2 (one to caller, one to radix-tree), it will not be
dropped. That condition almost never met for THPs -- tail pages are
pinned to the pagevec.

Let's drop them, before calling invalidate_inode_page().
