fscache: Implement raw I/O interface
Provide a pair of functions to perform raw I/O on the cache. The first function allows an arbitrary asynchronous direct-IO read to be made against a cache object, though the read should be aligned and sized appropriately for the backing device: int fscache_read(struct netfs_cache_resources *cres, loff_t start_pos, struct iov_iter *iter, enum netfs_read_from_hole read_hole, netfs_io_terminated_t term_func, void *term_func_priv); The cache resources must have been previously initialised by fscache_begin_read_operation(). A read operation is sent to the backing filesystem, starting at start_pos within the file. The size of the read is specified by the iterator, as is the location of the output buffer. If there is a hole in the data it can be ignored and left to the backing filesystem to deal with (NETFS_READ_HOLE_IGNORE), a hole at the beginning can be skipped over and the buffer padded with zeros (NETFS_READ_HOLE_CLEAR) or -ENODATA can be given (NETFS_READ_HOLE_FAIL). If term_func is not NULL, the operation may be performed asynchronously. Upon completion, successful or otherwise, (*term_func)() will be called and passed term_func_priv, along with an error or the amount of data transferred. If the op is run asynchronously, fscache_read() will return -EIOCBQUEUED. The second function allows an arbitrary asynchronous direct-IO write to be made against a cache object, though the write should be aligned and sized appropriately for the backing device: int fscache_write(struct netfs_cache_resources *cres, loff_t start_pos, struct iov_iter *iter, netfs_io_terminated_t term_func, void *term_func_priv); This works in very similar way to fscache_read(), except that there's no need to deal with holes (they're just overwritten). The caller is responsible for preventing concurrent overlapping writes.
