[PATCH] drop_buffers() oops fix

Browse source 
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.
