[patch] tmpfs mmap sync bug fix

[ pjd@ CCed to make sure it doesn't apply to zfs ]

Mmaped pages can get out of sync in tmpfs.  The bug is 100% reproducible
by:
# fsx -S 125 -d /tmpfs/file
It breaks at operation 42.

Fix is inspired by zfs, it calls vm_page_cache_free(). Reading zfs
sources, it looks like it doesn't check v_object->cache, but never the
less bug never shows up on there. Probably it's because of zfs using
VOP_BMAP to do page mapping. tmpfs uses default
vop_getpages/vop_putpages which invokes vop_read/vop_write accordingly.
Removing v_object->cache == NULL checks breaks things again. 

I'm not entirely sure if it's correct fix and would appreciate vm guru
having a look at it, because I do the same thing in my pefs filesystem
and It works as expected for me:
