Fscache/cachefiles used to serve as a local cache for a remote networking fs. This patch, along with the following patches, introduces a new on-demand read mode for cachefiles, which can boost the scenario where on-demand read semantics is needed, e.g. container image distribution. The essential difference between these two modes is that, in original mode, when a cache miss occurs, the netfs will fetch the data from the remote server and then write it to the cache file. With on-demand read mode, however, fetching the data and writing it to the cache is delegated to a user daemon. As the first step, notify the user daemon when looking up cookie. In this case, an anonymous fd is sent to the user daemon, through which the user daemon can write the fetched data to the cache file. Since the user daemon may move the anonymous fd around, e.g. through dup(), an object ID uniquely identifying the cache file is also attached. Also add one advisory flag (FSCACHE_ADV_WANT_CACHE_SIZE) suggesting that cache file size shall be retrieved at runtime. This helps the scenario where one cache file contains multiple netfs files, e.g. for the purpose of deduplication. In this case, netfs itself has no idea the size of the cache file, whilst the user daemon needs to give the hint on it.
