When drop_caches truncates the page cache in an inode it also includes any shadow entries for evicted pages. However, there is a preliminary check on whether the inode has pages: if it has *only* shadow entries, it will skip running truncation on the inode and leave it behind. Fix the check to mapping_empty(), such that it runs truncation on any inode that has cache entries at all.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
