[PATCH 00/12] fscache: Some prep work for fscache rewrite

Here are some patches that perform some preparatory work for the fscache
rewrite that's being worked on.  These include:

 (1) Always select netfs stats when enabling fscache stats since they're
     displayed through the same procfile.

 (2) Add a cookie debug ID that can be used in tracepoints instead of a
     pointer and cache it in the netfs_cache_resources struct rather than
     in the netfs_read_request struct to make it more available.

 (3) Use file_inode() in cachefiles rather than dereferencing file->f_inode
     directly.

 (4) Provide a procfile to display fscache cookies.

 (5) Remove the fscache and cachefiles histogram procfiles.

 (6) Remove the fscache object list procfile.

 (7) Avoid using %p in fscache and cachefiles as the value is hashed and
     not comparable to the register dump in an oops trace.

 (8) Fix the cookie hash function to actually achieve useful dispersion.

 (9) Fix fscache_cookie_put() so that it doesn't dereference the cookie
     pointer in the tracepoint after the refcount has been decremented
     (we're only allowed to do that if we decremented it to zero).

(10) Use refcount_t rather than atomic_t for the fscache_cookie refcount.

The patches can be found on this branch:
