netfs: Fix interaction between write-streaming and cachefiles culling

An issue can occur between write-streaming (storing dirty data in partial
non-uptodate pages) and a cachefiles object being culled to make space.
The problem occurs because the cache object is only marked in use while
there are files open using it. Once it has been released, it can be culled
and the cookie marked disabled.

At this point, a streaming write is permitted to occur (if the cache is
active, we require pages to be prefetched and cached), but the cache can
become active again before this gets flushed out - and then two effects can
occur:

(1) The cache may be asked to write out a region that's less than its DIO
block size (assumed by cachefiles to be PAGE_SIZE) - and this causes
one of two debugging statements to be emitted.

(2) netfs_how_to_modify() gets confused because it sees a page that isn't
allowed to be non-uptodate being uptodate and tries to prefetch it -
leading to a warning that PG_fscache is set twice.

Fix this by the following means:

(1) Add a netfs_inode flag to disallow write-streaming to an inode and set
it if we ever do local caching of that inode. It remains set for the
lifetime of that inode - even if the cookie becomes disabled.

(2) If the no-write-streaming flag is set, then make netfs_how_to_modify()
always want to prefetch instead.

(3) If netfs_how_to_modify() decides it wants to prefetch a folio, but
that folio has write-streamed data in it, then it requires the folio
be flushed first.

(4) Export a counter of the number of times we wanted to prefetch a
non-uptodate page, but found it had write-streamed data in it.

(5) Export a counter of the number of times we cancelled a write to the
cache because it didn't DIO align and remove the debug statements.

netfs: Implement unbuffered/DIO read support

Implement support for unbuffered and DIO reads in the netfs library,
utilising the existing read helper code to do block splitting and
individual queuing. The code also handles extraction of the destination
buffer from the supplied iterator, allowing async unbuffered reads to take
place.

The read will be split up according to the rsize setting and, if supplied,
the ->clamp_length() method. Note that the next subrequest will be issued
as soon as issue_op returns, without waiting for previous ones to finish.
The network filesystem needs to pause or handle queuing them if it doesn't
want to fire them all at the server simultaneously.

Once all the subrequests have finished, the state will be assessed and the
amount of data to be indicated as having being obtained will be
determined. As the subrequests may finish in any order, if an intermediate
subrequest is short, any further subrequests may be copied into the buffer
and then abandoned.

In the future, this will also take care of doing an unbuffered read from
encrypted content, with the decryption being done by the library.

netfs: Extend the netfs_io_*request structs to handle writes

Modify the netfs_io_request struct to act as a point around which writes
can be coordinated. It represents and pins a range of pages that need
writing and a list of regions of dirty data in that range of pages.

If RMW is required, the original data can be downloaded into the bounce
buffer, decrypted if necessary, the modifications made, then the modified
data can be reencrypted/recompressed and sent back to the server.

netfs: Add a netfs inode context

Add a netfs_i_context struct that should be included in the network
filesystem's own inode struct wrapper, directly after the VFS's inode
struct, e.g.:

struct my_inode {
struct {
/* These must be contiguous */
struct inode vfs_inode;
struct netfs_i_context netfs_ctx;
};
};

The netfs_i_context struct so far contains a single field for the network
filesystem to use - the cache cookie:

struct netfs_i_context {
...
struct fscache_cookie *cache;
};

Three functions are provided to help with this:

(1) void netfs_i_context_init(struct inode *inode,
const struct netfs_request_ops *ops);

Initialise the netfs context and set the operations.

(2) struct netfs_i_context *netfs_i_context(struct inode *inode);

Find the netfs context from the VFS inode.

(3) struct inode *netfs_inode(struct netfs_i_context *ctx);

Find the VFS inode from the netfs context.

Changes
=======
ver #4)
- Fix netfs_is_cache_enabled() to check cookie->cache_priv to see if a
cache is present[3].
- Fix netfs_skip_folio_read() to zero out all of the page, not just some
of it[3].

ver #3)
- Split out the bit to move ceph cap-getting on readahead into
ceph_init_request()[1].
- Stick in a comment to the netfs inode structs indicating the contiguity
requirements[2].

ver #2)
- Adjust documentation to match.
- Use "#if IS_ENABLED()" in netfs_i_cookie(), not "#ifdef".
- Move the cap check from ceph_readahead() to ceph_init_request() to be
called from netfslib.
- Remove ceph_readahead() and use netfs_readahead() directly instead.

netfs: Add write_begin helper

Add a helper to do the pre-reading work for the netfs write_begin address
space op.

Changes
v6:
- Fixed a missing rreq put in netfs_write_begin()[3].
- Use DEFINE_READAHEAD()[4].

v5:
- Made the wait for PG_fscache in netfs_write_begin() killable[2].

v4:
- Added flag to netfs_subreq_terminated() to indicate that the caller may
have been running async and stuff that might sleep needs punting to a
workqueue (can't use in_softirq()[1]).
