[GIT PULL] Fixes for FS-Cache/CacheFiles

[GIT PULL] Fixes for FS-Cache/CacheFiles

[David Howells]

Hi Linus,

Could you pull these fixes for FS-Cache and Cachefiles:

 (1) Put a timeout in releasepage() to deal with a recursive hang between the
     memory allocator, writeback, ext4 and fscache under memory pressure.

 (2) Fix a pair of refcount bugs in the fscache error handling.

 (3) Remove a couple of unused pagevecs.  This could be punted to -next if
     you'd rather.

Thanks,
David

Please don't pull them just at the moment.  I've spotted a bug in one of them.
