Subject: [PATCH V5 0/6] Introduce erofs shared domain

Changes since V4:
0. Relinquish the volume after mutex unlock in erofs_fscache_domain_put().
1. Use kill_anon_super() instead of kill_litter_super() to umount pseudo mnt.
2. Extract erofs_fscache_relinquish_cookie() to reduce lines.
3. Add code comments.
4. Remove useless local variable initialization.
5. Add "Fixes" line to patch 1.
6. Add Reviewed-by lines from Jingbo Xu.

[Issue]
	https://github.com/containerd/nydus-snapshotter/issues/161
[PR]
	https://github.com/containerd/nydus-snapshotter/pull/162

[Background]
============
In ondemand read mode, we use individual volume to present an erofs
mountpoint, cookies to present bootstrap and data blobs.

In which case, since cookies can't be shared between fscache volumes,
even if the data blobs between different mountpoints are exactly same,
they can't be shared.

[Introduction]
==============
Here we introduce erofs shared domain to resolve above mentioned case.
Several erofs filesystems can belong to one domain, and data blobs can
be shared among these erofs filesystems of same domain.

[Usage]
Users could specify 'domain_id' mount option to create or join into a
domain which reuses the same cookies(blobs).

[Design]
========
1. Use pseudo mnt to manage domain's lifecycle.
2. Use a linked list to maintain & traverse domains.
3. Use pseudo sb to create anonymous inode for recording cookie's info
   and manage cookies lifecycle.

[Flow Path]
===========
1. User specify a new 'domain_id' in mount option.
   1.1 Traverse domain list, compare domain_id with existing domain.[Miss]
   1.2 Create a new domain(volume), add it to domain list.
   1.3 Traverse pseudo sb's inode list, compare cookie name with
       existing cookies.[Miss]
   1.4 Alloc new anonymous inodes and cookies.

2. User specify an existing 'domain_id' in mount option and the data
   blob is existed in domain.
   2.1 Traverse domain list, compare domain_id with existing domain.[Hit]
   2.2 Reuse the domain and increase its refcnt.
   2.3 Traverse pseudo sb's inode list, compare cookie name with
   	   existing cookies.[Hit]
   2.4 Reuse the cookie and increase its refcnt.
