Data pages in gcdat metadata file (i.e. the secondary DAT for GC), are
cleared or even moved back to the normal DAT when a shot of garbage
collection was done.
Buffer heads held by the palloc cache of gcdat must be cleared before
these page cache manipulation. This adds nilfs_palloc_clear_cache()
to ensure this.

NILFS2 uses another DAT inode during garbage collection to ensure
atomicity and consistency of the DAT in the transient state. This
twin inode is called GCDAT.
This adds functions to initialize the GCDAT and to switch page caches
and B-tree node caches between these two inodes.
