[PATCH v4 01/30] netfs: Fix decision whether to disallow write-streaming due to fscache use

[David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>]

netfs_perform_write() buffers data by writing it into the pagecache for
later writeback.  If the folio it wants to write to isn't present, it uses
"write streaming" in which is will store partial data in a non-uptodate,
but dirty folio.

However, when fscache is in use, this is a potential problem as writes to
the cache have to be aligned to the cache backend's DIO granularity, and so
netfs_perform_write() attempts to suppress write-streaming in such a case,
requiring the folio content to be fetched first unless the entire folio is
going to be overwritten.  This allows the content to be written to the
cache too.

Unfortunately, the test netfs_perform_write() uses isn't correct because it
doesn't take into account the fact that the object lookup is asynchronous
and farmed off to a work queue, so there's a short window in which the
cache is doing a lookup but the test fails because the answer is undefined.

This can be triggered by the generic/464 xfstest, and causes a warning to
be emitted in cachefiles (in code not yet upstream) because it sees a write
that doesn't have its bounds rounded out to DIO alignment.

Fix this by changing the condition to whether FSCACHE_COOKIE_IS_CACHING is
set on a cookie rather than whether the cookie is marked enabled.  Note
that this is really just a hint as to whether we allow write streaming or
not and no other aspects of the cookie or cache object are accessed.
