(More) new code for 5.8:
- Introduce DONTCACHE flags for dentries and inodes. This hint will
cause the VFS to drop the associated objects immediately after the
last put, so that we can change the file access mode (DAX or page
cache) on the fly.
fs: Introduce DCACHE_DONTCACHE
DCACHE_DONTCACHE indicates a dentry should not be cached on final
dput().
Also add a helper function to mark DCACHE_DONTCACHE on all dentries
pointing to a specific inode when that inode is being set I_DONTCACHE.
This facilitates dropping dentry references to inodes sooner which
require eviction to swap S_DAX mode.
