coda: add hinting support for partial file caching

This adds support for partial file caching in Coda. Every read, write
and mmap informs the userspace cache manager about what part of a file
is about to be accessed so that the cache manager can ensure the
relevant parts are available before the operation is allowed to proceed.

When a read or write operation completes, this is also reported to allow
the cache manager to track when partially cached content can be
released.

If the cache manager does not support partial file caching, or when the
entire file has been fetched into the local cache, the cache manager may
return an EOPNOTSUPP error to indicate that intent upcalls are no longer
necessary until the file is closed.

coda: change Coda's user api to use 64-bit time_t in timespec

Move the 32-bit time_t problems to userspace.

coda: stop using 'struct timespec' in user API

We exchange file timestamps with user space using psdev device
read/write operations with a fixed but architecture specific binary
layout.

On 32-bit systems, this uses a 'timespec' structure that is defined by
the C library to contain two 32-bit values for seconds and nanoseconds.
As we get ready for the year 2038 overflow of the 32-bit signed seconds,
the kernel now uses 64-bit timestamps internally, and user space will do
the same change by changing the 'timespec' definition in the future.

Unfortunately, this breaks the layout of the coda_vattr structure, so we
need to redefine that in terms of something that does not change. I'm
introducing a new 'struct vtimespec' structure here that keeps the
existing layout, and the same change has to be done in the coda user
space copy of linux/coda.h before anyone can use that on a 32-bit
architecture with 64-bit time_t.

An open question is what should happen to actual times past y2038, as
they are now truncated to the last valid date when sent to user space,
and interpreted as pre-1970 times when a timestamp with the MSB set is
read back into the kernel. Alternatively, we could change the new
timespec64_to_coda()/coda_to_timespec64() functions to use a different
interpretation and extend the available range further to the future by
disallowing past timestamps. This would require more changes in the
user space side though.

# 694a58e2 16-Jul-2019 Mikko Rapeli <mikko.rapeli@iki.fi>

uapi linux/coda.h: use __kernel_pid_t for userspace

Part of a patch by Mikko Rapeli, as Arnd Bergman commented on the
original patch.

pid_t might differ between libc and the kernel, so the kernel
interface has to use types that the kernel defines.
