How about I do the following:
(1) Add set_page_private_2() or mark_page_private_2() to set the PG_fscache_2
bit. It could take a ref on the page here.
(2) Rename unlock_page_private_2() to end_page_private_2(). It could drop
the ref on the page here, but that then means I can't use
pagevec_release().
(3) Add wait_on_page_private_2() an analogue of wait_on_page_writeback()
rather than wait_on_page_locked().
(4) Provide fscache synonyms of the above.
