We ->put_page() into tcache twice w/o ->get_page() in between, resulting in:

It's because we put all clean pages into cleancache, but in some cases
we may never read those pages from cleancache. E.g. see do_mpage_readpage(),
there are many case when cleancache_get_page() is not called.

Fix this by invalidating such existing page during ->put_page().
