[PATCH] drop_buffers() oops fix
In rare situations, drop_buffers() can be called for a page which has buffers, but no ->mapping (it was truncated, but the buffers were left behind because ext3 was still fiddling with them). But if there was an I/O error in a buffer_head, drop_buffers() will try to get at the address_space and will oops.
