In my opinion, cachefiles_add_cache() will pass the corresponding size
to cache->bsize. For scenarios such as nfs/cifs, the corresponding bsize
is PAGE_SIZE aligned, which is fine. For scenarios where cache->bsize is
specified for non-PAGE_SIZE alignment (such as erofs on demand mode),
imposing PAGE_SIZE here can be problematic. So modify cache->bsize to be
more generic.
