Subject: [PATCH 09/11] cleancache: Use static_key instead of cleancache_ops and cleancache_enabled.

As ways to determine whether to allow certain functions to be
called.

This makes it easier to understand the code - the three functions
that can be called by the filesystem irregardless whether a backend is set or
not cleancache_init_fs, cleancache_init_shared_fs, and cleancache_invalidate_fs.

The rest of the cleancache functions end up being NOPs when the backend
has not yet registered.
