Subject: [PATCH 06/19] FS-Cache: NFS: Only obtain cache cookies on file open, not on inode read

Make the NFS filesystem only obtain a cache cookie for a regular file when it's
actually opened rather than when the inode is fetched in.  Directories and
special files aren't currently cached on NFS.

Normally, in a filesystem, an inode would be instantiated only when it's
actually going to be used, but in the case of NFS it will be created by readdir
listing a directory entry referring to it too.

This meant that ls -lR or find would attempt to load all the regular file
inodes in a tree into the cache, rather than none of them.  With this patch,
none of them would be loaded.
