Subject: [RFC 01/19] cachefiles: add mode command

fscache/cachefiles used to serve as a local cache for remote fs.
This patch set introduces a new use case, in which local read-only
fs could implement demand read with fscache.

Thus 'mode' field is used to distinguish which mode cachefiles works in.
User daemon could set the specified mode with 'mode' command. If user
daemon doesn't ever explicitly set the mode, then cachefiles serves as
the local cache for remote fs by default.
