invalidate_inode_pages2

Something broke in invalidate_inode_pages2 between 2.4 and 2.6, this
causes malfunctions with mapped pages in 2.6.

I guess the below untested one liner should be enough to fix it. The
only single point of invalidate_inode_pages2, is to invalidate _mapped_
pages too. Otherwise we could as well use invalidate_inode_pages.
Clearly the dirty bit doesn't mean invalidate, invalidate primarly means
clearing the uptodate bitflag.
