[PATCH v2 06/20] cachefiles: introduce new devnode for on-demand read mode

This patch introduces a new devnode 'cachefiles_ondemand' to support the
newly introduced on-demand read mode.

The precondition for on-demand reading semantic is that, all blob files
have been placed under corresponding directory with correct file size
(sparse files) on the first beginning. When upper fs starts to access
the blob file, it will "cache miss" (hit the hole) and then turn to user
daemon for preparing the data.

The interaction between kernel and user daemon is described as below.
1. Once cache miss, .ondemand_read() callback of corresponding fscache
   backend is called to prepare the data. As for cachefiles, it just
   packages related metadata (file range to read, etc.) into a pending
   read request, and then the process triggering cache miss will fall
   asleep until the corresponding data gets fetched later.
2. User daemon needs to poll on the devnode ('cachefiles_ondemand'),
   waiting for pending read request.
3. Once there's pending read request, user daemon will be notified and
   shall read the devnode ('cachefiles_ondemand') to fetch one pending
   read request to process.
4. For the fetched read request, user daemon need to somehow prepare the
   data (e.g. download from remote through network) and then write the
   fetched data into the backing file to fill the hole.
5. After that, user daemon need to notify cachefiles backend by writing a
   'done' command to devnode ('cachefiles_ondemand'). It will also
   awake the previous asleep process triggering cache miss.
6. By the time the process gets awaken, the data has been ready in the
   backing file. Then fscache will re-initiate a read request from the
   backing file.
