David Howells 92a714d727 netfs: Fix interaction between write-streaming and cachefiles culling
An issue can occur between write-streaming (storing dirty data in partial
non-uptodate pages) and a cachefiles object being culled to make space.
The problem occurs because the cache object is only marked in use while
there are files open using it.  Once it has been released, it can be culled
and the cookie marked disabled.

At this point, a streaming write is permitted to occur (if the cache is
active, we require pages to be prefetched and cached), but the cache can
become active again before this gets flushed out - and then two effects can
occur:

 (1) The cache may be asked to write out a region that's less than its DIO
     block size (assumed by cachefiles to be PAGE_SIZE) - and this causes
     one of two debugging statements to be emitted.

 (2) netfs_how_to_modify() gets confused because it sees a page that isn't
     allowed to be non-uptodate being uptodate and tries to prefetch it -
     leading to a warning that PG_fscache is set twice.

Fix this by the following means:

 (1) Add a netfs_inode flag to disallow write-streaming to an inode and set
     it if we ever do local caching of that inode.  It remains set for the
     lifetime of that inode - even if the cookie becomes disabled.

 (2) If the no-write-streaming flag is set, then make netfs_how_to_modify()
     always want to prefetch instead.

 (3) If netfs_how_to_modify() decides it wants to prefetch a folio, but
     that folio has write-streamed data in it, then it requires the folio
     be flushed first.

 (4) Export a counter of the number of times we wanted to prefetch a
     non-uptodate page, but found it had write-streamed data in it.

 (5) Export a counter of the number of times we cancelled a write to the
     cache because it didn't DIO align and remove the debug statements.
