Shin'ichiro Kawasaki 7607c44c15 block: Hold invalidate_lock in BLKDISCARD ioctl
When BLKDISCARD ioctl and data read race, the data read leaves stale
page cache. To avoid the stale page cache, hold invalidate_lock of the
block device file mapping. The stale page cache is observed when
blktests test case block/009 is repeated hundreds of times.

This patch can be applied back to the stable kernel version v5.15.y
with slight patch edit. Rework is required for older stable kernels.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
