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(4) Withdrawal of open objects when a cache is being withdrawn or a cookie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.
