[PATCH v2 26/67] fscache: Implement higher-level write I/O interface

Provide a higher-level function than fscache_write() to perform a write
from an inode's pagecache to the cache, whilst fending off concurrent
writes by means of the PG_fscache mark on a page:

	void fscache_write_to_cache(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
				    struct address_space *mapping,
				    loff_t start,
				    size_t len,
				    loff_t i_size,
				    netfs_io_terminated_t term_func,
				    void *term_func_priv,
				    bool caching);

If caching is false, this function does nothing except call (*term_func)()
if given.  It assumes that, in such a case, PG_fscache will not have been
set on the pages.

Otherwise, if caching is true, this function requires the source pages to
have had PG_fscache set on them before calling.  start and len define the
region of the file to be modified and i_size indicates the new file size.
The source pages are extracted from the mapping.

term_func and term_func_priv work as for fscache_write().  The PG_fscache
marks will be cleared at the end of the operation, before term_func is
called or the function otherwise returns.

There is an additonal helper function to clear the PG_fscache bits from a
range of pages:

	void fscache_clear_page_bits(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
				     struct address_space *mapping,
				     loff_t start, size_t len,
				     bool caching);

If caching is true, the pages to be managed are expected to be located on
mapping in the range defined by start and len.  If caching is false, it
does nothing.
