9p: Include fsync support for 9p client

Implement the fsync in the client side by marking stat field values to 'don't touch' so that server may
interpret it as a request to guarantee that the contents of the associated file are committed to stable
storage before the Rwstat message is returned.

Without this patch, calling fsync on a 9p file results in "Invalid argument" error. Please check the attached
C program.

9p: Add fscache support to 9p

This patch adds a persistent, read-only caching facility for
9p clients using the FS-Cache caching backend.

When the fscache facility is enabled, each inode is associated
with a corresponding vcookie which is an index into the FS-Cache
indexing tree. The FS-Cache indexing tree is indexed at 3 levels:
- session object associated with each mount.
- inode/vcookie
- actual data (pages)

A cache tag is chosen randomly for each session. These tags can
be read off /sys/fs/9p/caches and can be passed as a mount-time
parameter to re-attach to the specified caching session.

The legacy protocol's open operation doesn't handle an append operation
(it is expected that the client take care of it). We were incorrectly
passing the extended protocol's flag through even in legacy mode. This
was reported in bugzilla report #10689. This patch fixes the problem
by disallowing extended protocol open modes from being passed in legacy
mode and implemented append functionality on the client side by adding
a seek after the open.

9p: implement optional loose read cache

While cacheing is generally frowned upon in the 9p world, it has its
place -- particularly in situations where the remote file system is
exclusive and/or read-only. The vacfs views of venti content addressable
store are a real-world instance of such a situation. To facilitate higher
performance for these workloads (and eventually use the fscache patches),
we have enabled a "loose" cache mode which does not attempt to maintain
any form of consistency on the page-cache or dcache. This results in over
two orders of magnitude performance improvement for cacheable block reads
in the Bonnie benchmark. The more aggressive use of the dcache also seems
to improve metadata operational performance.

message. This behavior may confuse v9fs what fids are allocated by the
file server.
