This function uses invalidate_inode_pages2() while invalidate_bdev() ends
up using mapping_try_invalidate() and there are subtle behavioral
differences between these two (for example invalidate_inode_pages2() tries
to clean dirty pages using the ->launder_folio method). So I think you'll
need helper like invalidate_bdev2() for this.
