    Pull fs meta data unmap optimization from Jens Axboe:
     "A series from Jan Kara, providing a more efficient way for unmapping
      meta data from in the buffer cache than doing it block-by-block.
    
      Provide a general helper that existing callers can use"
    
    * 'for-4.10/fs-unmap' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
      fs: Remove unmap_underlying_metadata
