mm: cleancache core ops functions and config
This third patch of eight in this cleancache series provides
the core code for cleancache that interfaces between the hooks in
VFS and individual filesystems and a cleancache backend. It also
includes build and config patches.
Two new files are added: mm/cleancache.c and include/linux/cleancache.h.
Note that CONFIG_CLEANCACHE can default to on; in systems that do
not provide a cleancache backend, all hooks devolve to a simple
check of a global enable flag, so performance impact should
be negligible but can be reduced to zero impact if config'ed off.
However for this first commit, it defaults to off.
Details and a FAQ can be found in Documentation/vm/cleancache.txt
