fscache: Implement cookie-level access helpers

Add a number of helper functions to manage access to a cookie, pinning the
cache object in place for the duration to prevent cache withdrawal from
removing it:

 (1) void fscache_init_access_gate(struct fscache_cookie *cookie);

     This function initialises the access count when a cache binds to a
     cookie.  An extra ref is taken on the access count to prevent wakeups
     while the cache is active.  We're only interested in the wakeup when a
     cookie is being withdrawn and we're waiting for it to quiesce - at
     which point the counter will be decremented before the wait.

     The FSCACHE_COOKIE_NACC_ELEVATED flag is set on the cookie to keep
     track of the extra ref in order to handle a race between
     relinquishment and withdrawal both trying to drop the extra ref.

 (2) bool fscache_begin_cookie_access(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
				      enum fscache_access_trace why);

     This function attempts to begin access upon a cookie, pinning it in
     place if it's cached.  If successful, it returns true and leaves a the
     access count incremented.

 (3) void fscache_end_cookie_access(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
				    enum fscache_access_trace why);

     This function drops the access count obtained by (2), permitting
     object withdrawal to take place when it reaches zero.

A tracepoint is provided to track changes to the access counter on a
cookie.

Changes
=======
ver #2:
 - Don't hold n_accesses elevated whilst cache is bound to a cookie, but
   rather add a flag that prevents the state machine from being queued when
   n_accesses reaches 0.
