cifs: Implement netfslib hooks



Provide implementation of the netfslib hooks that will be used by netfslib
to ask cifs to set up and perform operations.  Of particular note are

 (*) cifs_clamp_length() - This is used to negotiate the size of the next
     subrequest in a read request, taking into account the credit available
     and the rsize.  The credits are attached to the subrequest.

 (*) cifs_req_issue_read() - This is used to issue a subrequest that has
     been set up and clamped.

 (*) cifs_prepare_write() - This prepares to fill a subrequest by picking a
     channel, reopening the file and requesting credits so that we can set
     the maximum size of the subrequest and also sets the maximum number of
     segments if we're doing RDMA.

 (*) cifs_issue_write() - This releases any unneeded credits and issues an
     asynchronous data write for the contiguous slice of file covered by
     the subrequest.  This should possibly be folded in to all
     ->async_writev() ops and that called directly.

 (*) cifs_begin_writeback() - This gets the cached writable handle through
     which we do writeback (this does not affect writethrough, unbuffered
     or direct writes).

At this point, cifs is not wired up to actually *use* netfslib; that will
be done in a subsequent patch.
