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.
