Attach copies of the index key and auxiliary data to the fscache cookie so
that:
(1) The callbacks to the netfs for this stuff can be eliminated. This
can simplify things in the cache as the information is still
available, even after the cache has relinquished the cookie.
(2) Simplifies the locking requirements of accessing the information as we
don't have to worry about the netfs object going away on us.
(3) The cache can do lazy updating of the coherency information on disk.
As long as the cache is flushed before reboot/poweroff, there's no
need to update the coherency info on disk every time it changes.
(4) Cookies can be hashed or put in a tree as the index key is easily
available. This allows:
(a) Checks for duplicate cookies can be made at the top fscache layer
rather than down in the bowels of the cache backend.
(b) Caching can be added to a netfs object that has a cookie if the
cache is brought online after the netfs object is allocated.
A certain amount of space is made in the cookie for inline copies of the
data, but if it won't fit there, extra memory will be allocated for it.
The downside of this is that live cache operation requires more memory.

In cifs_readpages(), we may decide we don't want to read a page after all -
but the page may already have passed through fscache_read_or_alloc_pages() and
thus have marks and reservations set. Thus we have to call
fscache_readpages_cancel() or fscache_uncache_page() on the pages we're
returning to clear the marks.
NFS, AFS and 9P should be unaffected by this as they call read_cache_pages()
which does the cleanup for you.

Define inode-level data storage objects (managed by cifsInodeInfo structs).
Each inode-level object is created in a super-block level object and is itself
a data storage object in to which pages from the inode are stored.
The inode object is keyed by UniqueId. The coherency data being used is
LastWriteTime, LastChangeTime and end of file reported by the server.

Define superblock-level cache index objects (managed by cifsTconInfo structs).
Each superblock object is created in a server-level index object and in itself
an index into which inode-level objects are inserted.
The superblock object is keyed by sharename. The UniqueId/IndexNumber is used to
validate that the exported share is the same since we accessed it last time.

Define server-level cache index objects (as managed by TCP_ServerInfo structs)
and register then with FS-Cache. Each server object is created in the CIFS
top-level index object and is itself an index into which superblock-level
objects are inserted.
The server objects are now keyed by {IPaddress,family,port} tuple.
