[GIT PULL] erofs updates for 7.2-rc1

[GIT PULL] erofs updates for 7.2-rc1

[Gao Xiang]

Hi Linus,

Sorry for late email this time, but could you consider these
commits for 7.2-rc1?

The most notable change is the removal of the fscache backend: it
has been deprecated for almost two years, mainly because EROFS
file-backed mounts and fanotify pre-content hooks (together with
erofs-utils) now provide better functionality and simpler codebase.
In addition, fscache has depended on netfslib for years, which is
undesirable for EROFS since it is a local filesystem. More details
are shown in [1].

In addition, sparse support has been added to the pcluster layout,
which is helpful for large sparse AI datasets, and map requests for
chunk-based inodes have been optimized to be more efficient as well.
There are also the usual fixes and cleanups.

All commits have been in -next and no potential merge conflict is
observed.

Thanks,
Gao Xiang
