[PATCH RFC 3/4] erofs: introduce page cache share feature

Currently, reading files with different paths (or names) but the same
content will consume multiple copies of the page cache, even if the
content of these page caches is the same. For example, reading identical
files (e.g., *.so files) from two different minor versions of container
images will cost multiple copies of the same page cache, since different
containers have different mount points. Therefore, sharing the page cache
for files with the same content can save memory.

This introduces the page cache share feature in erofs. During the mkfs
phase, file content is hashed and the hash value is stored in the
`user.fingerprint` extended attribute. Inodes of files with the same
`user.fingerprint` are mapped to an anonymous inode, whose page cache
stores the actual contents. In this way, a single copy of the anonymous
inode's page cache can serve read requests from several files mapped to it.

Below is the memory usage for reading all files in two different minor
versions of container images:

+-------------------+------------------+-------------+---------------+
