vfs, cachefiles: Mark a backing file in use with an inode flag
Use an inode flag, S_KERNEL_FILE, to mark that a backing file is in use by
the kernel to prevent cachefiles or other kernel services from interfering
with that file.
Alter rmdir to reject attempts to remove a directory marked with this flag.
This is used by cachefiles to prevent cachefilesd from removing them.
Using S_SWAPFILE instead isn't really viable as that has other effects in
the I/O paths.
Changes
=======
ver #3:
- Check for the object pointer being NULL in the tracepoints rather than
the caller.
