fs/9p: remove writeback fid and fix per-file modes
This patch removes the creating of an additional writeback_fid
for opened files.  The patch addresses problems when files
were opened write-only or getattr on files with dirty caches.

This patch also incorporates information about cache behavior
in the fid for every file.  This allows us to reflect cache
behavior from mount flags, open mode, and information from
the server to inform readahead and writeback behavior.

This includes adding support for a 9p semantic that qid.version==0
is used to mark a file as non-cachable which is important for
synthetic files.  This may have a side-effect of not supporting
caching on certain legacy file servers that do not properly set
qid.version.  There is also now a mount flag which can disable
the qid.version behavior.

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.
