CacheFiles: Implement invalidation
Implement invalidation for CacheFiles. This is in two parts: (1) Provide an invalidation method (which just truncates the backing file). (2) Abort attempts to copy anything read from the backing file whilst invalidation is in progress. Question: CacheFiles uses truncation in a couple of places. It has been using notify_change() rather than sys_truncate() or something similar. This means it bypasses a bunch of checks and suchlike that it possibly should be making (security, file locking, lease breaking, vfsmount write). Should it be using vfs_truncate() as added by a preceding patch or should it use notify_write() and assume that anyone poking around in the cache files on disk gets everything they deserve?
