726dd7ff10 FS-Cache: Add netfs registration
Add functions to register and unregister a network filesystem or other client
of the FS-Cache service.  This allocates and releases the cookie representing
the top-level index for a netfs, and makes it available to the netfs.

If the FS-Cache facility is disabled, then the calls are optimised away at
compile time.

Note that whilst this patch may appear to work with FS-Cache enabled and a
netfs attempting to use it, it will leak the cookie it allocates for the netfs
as fscache_relinquish_cookie() is implemented in a later patch.  This will
cause the slab code to emit a warning when the module is removed.
