[PATCH 6.18 1016/1611] netfs: Fix netfs_create_write_req() to handle async cache object creation

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

6.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit dbd6f56d975b23241b7bbb11bb8f562af548a0aa ]

netfs_create_write_req() will skip caching if the fscache cookie is
disabled, but this is a problem because async cache object creation might
not have got far enough yet that has been enabled - thereby causing the
call to fscache_begin_write_operation() to be skipped.

Fix this by removing the checks on the cookie and delegating this to
fscache_begin_write_operation().

Fixes: 7b589a9b45ae ("netfs: Fix handling of USE_PGPRIV2 and WRITE_TO_CACHE flags")
