Linux 2.6.39 compat, invalidate_inodes()

To resolve a potiential filesystem corruption issue a second
argument was added to invalidate_inodes().  This argument controls
whether dirty inodes are dropped or treated as busy when invalidating
a super block.  When only the legacy API is available the second
argument will be dropped for compatibility.

dnl #
dnl # 2.6.39 API compat,
dnl # The function invalidate_inodes() now take 2 arguments. The second
dnl # 'kill_dirty' argument describes how invalidate_inodes() should
dnl # handle dirty inodes. Only when set will dirty inodes be discarded,
dnl # otherwise they will be handled as busy.
dnl #
dnl # Unfortunately, we don't have access to the invalidate_inodes()
dnl # prototype so it's not easy to check how many arguments it takes.
dnl # However, this change was done for the benefit of invalidate_device()
dnl # which also added an argument. The invalidate_device() symbol does
dnl # exist in the development headers so if it takes two arguments we
dnl # can fairly safely infer that invalidate_inodes() takes two arguments
dnl # as well. See commit 93b270f76e7ef3b81001576860c2701931cdc78b.
