netfs, cachefiles: Add a method to query presence of data in the cache

Add a netfs_cache_ops method by which a network filesystem can ask the
cache about what data it has available and where so that it can make a
multipage read more efficient.

+   [Required] Called to find out where the next piece of data is within a
+   particular region of the cache.  The start and length of the region to be
+   queried are passed in, along with the granularity to which the answer needs
+   to be aligned.  The function passes back the start and length of the data,
+   if any, available within that region.  Note that there may be a hole at the
+   front.
+
+   It returns 0 if some data was found, -ENODATA if there was no usable data
+   within the region or -ENOBUFS if there is no caching on this file.
+
 Note that these methods are passed a pointer to the cache resource structure,
 not the read request structure as they could be used in other situations where
 there isn't a read request structure as well, such as writing dirty data to the
