It was makign an assumption that used to be incorrect, but that assumption became ok with the calling convention change - now the page_follow_link() and page_put_link() functions work fine even if the page cache might get invalidated in between the calls. So with your patch, things should be fine (and external filesystems will generate warnings on compiles, but should work fine, since the change maintains the ABI even if the API changed - which is pretty unusual).
