David Howells 24e42e32d3 9p: Use fscache indexing rewrite and reenable caching
Change the 9p filesystem to take account of the changes to fscache's
indexing rewrite and reenable caching in 9p.

The following changes have been made:

 (1) The fscache_netfs struct is no more, and there's no need to register
     the filesystem as a whole.

 (2) The session cookie is now an fscache_volume cookie, allocated with
     fscache_acquire_volume().  That takes three parameters: a string
     representing the "volume" in the index, a string naming the cache to
     use (or NULL) and a u64 that conveys coherency metadata for the
     volume.

     For 9p, I've made it render the volume name string as:

	"9p,<devname>,<cachetag>"

     where the cachetag is replaced by the aname if it wasn't supplied.

     This probably needs rethinking a bit as the aname can have slashes in
     it.  It might be better to hash the cachetag and use the hash or I
     could substitute commas for the slashes or something.

 (3) The fscache_cookie_def is no more and needed information is passed
     directly to fscache_acquire_cookie().  The cache no longer calls back
     into the filesystem, but rather metadata changes are indicated at
     other times.

     fscache_acquire_cookie() is passed the same keying and coherency
     information as before.

 (4) The functions to set/reset/flush cookies are removed and
     fscache_use_cookie() and fscache_unuse_cookie() are used instead.

     fscache_use_cookie() is passed a flag to indicate if the cookie is
     opened for writing.  fscache_unuse_cookie() is passed updates for the
     metadata if we changed it (ie. if the file was opened for writing).

     These are called when the file is opened or closed.

 (5) wait_on_page_bit[_killable]() is replaced with the specific wait
     functions for the bits waited upon.

 (6) I've got rid of some of the 9p-specific cache helper functions and
     called things like fscache_relinquish_cookie() directly as they'll
     optimise away if v9fs_inode_cookie() returns an unconditional NULL
     (which will be the case if CONFIG_9P_FSCACHE=n).

 (7) v9fs_vfs_setattr() is made to call fscache_resize() to change the size
     of the cache object.

Notes:

 (A) We should call fscache_invalidate() if we detect that the server's
     copy of a file got changed by a third party, but I don't know where to
     do that.  We don't need to do that when allocating the cookie as we
     get a check-and-invalidate when we initially bind to the cache object.

 (B) The copy-to-cache-on-writeback side of things will be handled in
     separate patch.

Changes
=======
ver #3:
 - Canonicalise the cookie key and coherency data to make them
   endianness-independent.

ver #2:
 - Use gfpflags_allow_blocking() rather than using flag directly.
 - fscache_acquire_volume() now returns errors.
