[PATCH v3 11/68] fscache: Implement cache-level access helpers

Add a pair of functions to pin/unpin a cache that we're wanting to do a
high-level access to (such as creating or removing a volume):

	bool fscache_begin_cache_access(struct fscache_cache *cache,
					enum fscache_access_trace why);
	void fscache_end_cache_access(struct fscache_cache *cache,
				      enum fscache_access_trace why);

The way the access gate works/will work is:

 (1) If the cache tests as not live (state is not FSCACHE_CACHE_IS_ACTIVE),
     then we return false to indicate access was not permitted.

 (2) If the cache tests as live, then we increment the n_accesses count and
     then recheck the liveness, ending the access if it ceased to be live.

 (3) When we end the access, we decrement n_accesses and wake up the any
     waiters if it reaches 0.

 (4) Whilst the cache is caching, n_accesses is kept artificially
     incremented to prevent wakeups from happening.

 (5) When the cache is taken offline, the state is changed to prevent new
     accesses, n_accesses is decremented and we wait for n_accesses to
     become 0.

Note that some of this is implemented in a later patch.
