Subject: [PATCH v4 24/68] netfs: Pass more information on how to deal with a
 hole in the cache

Pass more information to the cache on how to deal with a hole if it
encounters one when trying to read from the cache.  Three options are
provided:

 (1) NETFS_READ_HOLE_IGNORE.  Read the hole along with the data, assuming
     it to be a punched-out extent by the backing filesystem.

 (2) NETFS_READ_HOLE_CLEAR.  If there's a hole, erase the requested region
     of the cache and clear the read buffer.

 (3) NETFS_READ_HOLE_FAIL.  Fail the read if a hole is detected.
