FS-Cache: Fix operation state management and accounting

Fix the state management of internal fscache operations and the accounting of
what operations are in what states.

This is done by:

 (1) Give struct fscache_operation a enum variable that directly represents the
     state it's currently in, rather than spreading this knowledge over a bunch
     of flags, who's processing the operation at the moment and whether it is
     queued or not.

     This makes it easier to write assertions to check the state at various
     points and to prevent invalid state transitions.

 (2) Add an 'operation complete' state and supply a function to indicate the
     completion of an operation (fscache_op_complete()) and make things call
     it.  The final call to fscache_put_operation() can then check that an op
     in the appropriate state (complete or cancelled).

 (3) Adjust the use of object->n_ops, ->n_in_progress, ->n_exclusive to better
     govern the state of an object:

	(a) The ->n_ops is now the number of extant operations on the object
	    and is now decremented by fscache_put_operation() only.

	(b) The ->n_in_progress is simply the number of objects that have been
	    taken off of the object's pending queue for the purposes of being
	    run.  This is decremented by fscache_op_complete() only.

	(c) The ->n_exclusive is the number of exclusive ops that have been
	    submitted and queued or are in progress.  It is decremented by
	    fscache_op_complete() and by fscache_cancel_op().

     fscache_put_operation() and fscache_operation_gc() now no longer try to
     clean up ->n_exclusive and ->n_in_progress.  That was leading to double
     decrements against fscache_cancel_op().

     fscache_cancel_op() now no longer decrements ->n_ops.  That was leading to
     double decrements against fscache_put_operation().

     fscache_submit_exclusive_op() now decides whether it has to queue an op
     based on ->n_in_progress being > 0 rather than ->n_ops > 0 as the latter
     will persist in being true even after all preceding operations have been
     cancelled or completed.  Furthermore, if an object is active and there are
     runnable ops against it, there must be at least one op running.

 (4) Add a remaining-pages counter (n_pages) to struct fscache_retrieval and
     provide a function to record completion of the pages as they complete.

     When n_pages reaches 0, the operation is deemed to be complete and
     fscache_op_complete() is called.

     Add calls to fscache_retrieval_complete() anywhere we've finished with a
     page we've been given to read or allocate for.  This includes places where
     we just return pages to the netfs for reading from the server and where
     accessing the cache fails and we discard the proposed netfs page.

The bugs in the unfixed state management manifest themselves as oopses like the
following where the operation completion gets out of sync with return of the
cookie by the netfs.  This is possible because the cache unlocks and returns
all the netfs pages before recording its completion - which means that there's
nothing to stop the netfs discarding them and returning the cookie.
