Adds missing initialization of newly allocated b-tree node buffers.
This avoids garbage data to be mixed in b-tree node blocks.

Bruno Prémont and Dunphy, Bill noticed me that NILFS will certainly
hang on ARM-based targets.
I found this was caused by an underflow of dirty pages counter. A
b-tree cache routine was marking page dirty without adjusting page
account information.
This fixes the dirty page accounting leak and resolves the hang on
arm-based targets.

This will fix file system corruption which infrequently happens after
mount. The problem was reported from users with the title "[NILFS
users] Fail to mount NILFS." (Message-ID:
<200908211918.34720.yuri@itinteg.net>), and so forth. I've also
experienced the corruption multiple times on kernel 2.6.30 and 2.6.31.
The problem turned out to be caused due to discordance between
mapping->nrpages of a btree node cache and the actual number of pages
hung on the cache; if the mapping->nrpages becomes zero even as it has
pages, truncate_inode_pages() returns without doing anything. Usually
this is harmless except it may cause page leak, but garbage collection
fairly infrequently sees a stale page remained in the btree node cache
of DAT (i.e. disk address translation file of nilfs), and induces the
corruption.
I identified a missing initialization in btree node caches was the
root cause. This corrects the bug.
I've tested this for kernel 2.6.30 and 2.6.31.

This applies block_sync_page() function to the sync_page method of
page caches for meta data files, gc page caches, and btree node
buffers. This is a companion patch of ("nilfs2: enable sync_page
mothod") which applied the function for data pages.
This allows lock_page() for those meta data to unplug pending bio
requests.

Previously, default_backing_dev_info was used for the mapping of btree
node caches. This uses device dependent backing_dev_info to allow
detailed control of the device for the btree node pages.
