Subject: [RFC PATCH 06/76] fscache: Remove the netfs data from the cookie

Remove the netfs data pointer from the cookie so that we don't refer back
to the netfs state and don't need accessors to manage this.  Keep the
information we do need (of which there's not actually a lot) in the cookie
which we can keep hold of if the netfs state goes away.
