The logic in attach_page_buffers and __clear_page_buffers are quite
paired, but
1. they are located in different files.
2. attach_page_buffers is implemented in buffer_head.h, so it could be
used by other files. But __clear_page_buffers is static function in
buffer.c and other potential users can't call the function, md-bitmap
even copied the function.
So, introduce the new attach/detach_page_private to replace them. With
the new pair of function, we will remove the usage of attach_page_buffers
and __clear_page_buffers in next patches. Thanks for suggestions about
the function name from Alexander Viro, Andreas Grünbacher, Christoph
Hellwig and Matthew Wilcox.

RFC V2 -> RFC V3:
1. rename clear_page_private to detach_page_private.
2. updated the comments for the two functions.
RFC -> RFC V2: Address the comments from Christoph Hellwig
1. change function names to attach/clear_page_private and add comments.
2. change the return type of attach_page_private.
