[PATCH v1 03/23] cachefiles: detect backing file size in demand-read mode

When upper read-only fs uses fscache for demand reading, it has no idea
on the size of the backed file. (You need to input the file size as the
@object_size parameter when calling fscache_acquire_cookie().)

In this using scenario, user daemon is responsible for preparing all
backing files with correct file size (though they can be all sparse
files), and the upper fs shall guarantee that past EOF access will never
happen.

Then with this precondition, cachefiles can detect the actual size of
backing file, and set it as the size of backed file.
