vfs: support caching symlink lengths in inodes
When utilized it dodges strlen() in vfs_readlink(), giving about 1.5% speed up when issuing readlink on /initrd.img on ext4. Filesystems opt in by calling inode_set_cached_link() when creating an inode. The size is stored in a new union utilizing the same space as i_devices, thus avoiding growing the struct or taking up any more space. Churn-wise the current readlink_copy() helper is patched to accept the size instead of calculating it.
