PATCH 1/1 Export of generic_forget_inode()

This patch adds export of generic_forget_inode()

if sb->drop_inode method is set, than it's called in iput_final().
But it's impossible to call neither generic_drop_inode(), nor generic_forget_inode() inside this handler. Only generic_delete_inode() is accessiable.

This patch adds export of generic_forget_inode()
if sb->drop_inode method is set, than it's called in iput_final(). But it's impossible to call neither generic_drop_inode(), nor generic_forget_inode() inside this handler. Only generic_delete_inode() is accessiable.

I don't see that this patch introduces any user for it.
