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.
