[PATCH] BLOCK: Move functions out of buffer code [try #6]

Move some functions out of the buffering code that aren't strictly buffering
specific.  This is a precursor to being able to disable the block layer.

 (*) Moved some stuff out of fs/buffer.c:

     (*) The file sync and general sync stuff moved to fs/sync.c.

     (*) The superblock sync stuff moved to fs/super.c.

     (*) do_invalidatepage() moved to mm/truncate.c.

     (*) try_to_release_page() moved to mm/filemap.c.

 (*) Moved some related declarations between header files:

     (*) declarations for do_invalidatepage() and try_to_release_page() moved
     	 to linux/mm.h.

     (*) __set_page_dirty_buffers() moved to linux/buffer_head.h.
