Subject: [PATCH v3] 9p: fix EBADF errors in cached mode

cached operations sometimes need to do invalid operations (e.g. read
on a write only file)
Historic fscache had added a "writeback fid", a special handle opened
RW as root, for this. The conversion to new fscache missed that bit.

This commit reinstates a slightly lesser variant of the original code
that uses the writeback fid for partial pages backfills if the regular
user fid had been open as WRONLY, and thus would lack read permissions.

v3: use the least permissive version of the patch that only uses
writeback fid when really required

If no problem shows up by then I'll post this patch around Wed 23 (next
week) with the other stable fixes.
