[RFC PATCH v2 1/3] fs/drop_caches: skip filesystems without page cache

[Huang Shijie]

Add a new flag SB_I_NO_PAGECACHE for superblock.

Skip scanning the inode lists of filesystems that have no page cache
in drop_pagecache_sb(), as indicated by the SB_I_NO_PAGECACHE flag.

This patch only changes the procfs.
