Subject: [RFC 06/19] netfs: add type field to struct netfs_read_request

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 'type' field is used to distinguish which mode netfs API works in.

Besides, in demand-read case, local fs using fscache for demand-read
can't offer and also doesn't need the file handle of the netfs file. The
input folio of netfs_readpage() is may not a page cache inside the
address space of the netfs file, and may be just a temporary page
containing the data. What netfs API needs to do is just move data from
backing file the the input folio. Thus buffer the folio in 'struct
netfs_read_request'.
