mm: cleancache core ops functions and config

This third patch of eight in this cleancache series provides
the core code for cleancache that interfaces between the hooks in
VFS and individual filesystems and a cleancache backend.  It also
includes build and config patches.

Two new files are added: mm/cleancache.c and include/linux/cleancache.h.

Note that CONFIG_CLEANCACHE can default to on; in systems that do
not provide a cleancache backend, all hooks devolve to a simple
check of a global enable flag, so performance impact should
be negligible but can be reduced to zero impact if config'ed off.
However for this first commit, it defaults to off.

Details and a FAQ can be found in Documentation/vm/cleancache.txt

+	  Cleancache can be thought of as a page-granularity victim cache
+	  for clean pages that the kernel's pageframe replacement algorithm
+	  (PFRA) would like to keep around, but can't since there isn't enough
+	  memory.  So when the PFRA "evicts" a page, it first attempts to use
+	  cleancacne code to put the data contained in that page into
+	  "transcendent memory", memory that is not directly accessible or
+	  addressable by the kernel and is of unknown and possibly
+	  time-varying size.  And when a cleancache-enabled
+	  filesystem wishes to access a page in a file on disk, it first
+	  checks cleancache to see if it already contains it; if it does,
+	  the page is copied into the kernel and a disk access is avoided.
+	  When a transcendent memory driver is available (such as zcache or
+	  Xen transcendent memory), a significant I/O reduction
+	  may be achieved.  When none is available, all cleancache calls
+	  are reduced to a single pointer-compare-against-NULL resulting
+	  in a negligible performance hit.
+
+	  If unsure, say Y to enable cleancache
