When changing the size of a block device, its all caches are freed. It's necessary on shrinking to prevent spurious I/Os to the disappeared region. However, on expanding, such kind of I/Os doesn't happen. Similar things can be considered for btrfs filesystem resize and resize2fs, but they are designed not to drop caches when expanding. Therefore this patch removes unnecessary cache drop.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
