cachefiles: Implement backing file wrangling
Implement the wrangling of backing files, including the following pieces: (1) Lookup and creation of a file on disk, using a tmpfile if the file isn't yet present. The file is then opened, sized for DIO and the file handle is attached to the cachefiles_object struct. The inode is marked to indicate that it's in use by a kernel service. (2) Invalidation of an object, creating a tmpfile and switching the file pointer in the cachefiles object. (3) Committing a file to disk, including setting the coherency xattr on it and, if necessary, creating a hard link to it. Note that this would be a good place to use Omar Sandoval's vfs_link() with AT_LINK_REPLACE[1] as I may have to unlink an old file before I can link a tmpfile into place. (4) Withdrawal of open objects when a cache is being withdrawn or a cookie is relinquished. This involves committing or discarding the file. Changes ======= ver #2: - Fix logging of wrong error[1].
