cachefiles: notify user daemon with anon_fd when looking up cookie
Fscache/cachefiles used to serve as a local cache for remote fs. This patch, along with the following patches, introduces a new on-demand read mode for cachefiles, which can boost the scenario where on-demand read semantics is needed, e.g. container image distribution. The essential difference between the original mode and on-demand read mode is that, in the original mode, when cache miss, netfs itself will fetch data from remote, and then write the fetched data into cache file. While in on-demand read mode, a user daemon is responsible for fetching data and then writing to the cache file. As the first step, notify user daemon with anon_fd when looking up cookie. Send the anonymous fd to user daemon when looking up cookie, no matter whether the cache file exist there or not. With the given anonymous fd, user daemon can fetch and then write data into cache file in advance, even when cache miss has not happended yet. Also add one advisory flag (FSCACHE_ADV_WANT_CACHE_SIZE) suggesting that cache file size shall be retrieved at runtime. This helps the scenario where one cache file can contain multiple netfs files for the purpose of deduplication, e.g. In this case, netfs itself has no idea the cache file size, whilst user daemon needs to offer the hint on the cache file size.
