[PATCH] [13/21] HWPOISON: Define a new error_remove_page address space op for async truncation

[Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org>]

Truncating metadata pages is not safe right now before
we haven't audited all file systems.

To enable truncation only for data address space define
a new address_space callback error_remove_page.

This is used for memory_failure.c memory error handling.

This can be then set to truncate_inode_page()

This patch just defines the new operation and adds documentation.

Callers and users come in followon patches.
