[PATCH 1/7] Introduce delete_from_page_cache

[Minchan Kim <minchan.kim@gmail.com>]

This function works as just wrapper remove_from_page_cache.
The difference is that it decreases page references in itself.
So caller have to make sure it has a page reference before calling.

This patch is ready for removing remove_from_page_cache.
