Implement invalidation for CacheFiles. This is in two parts:
(1) Provide an invalidation method (which just truncates the backing file).
(2) Abort attempts to copy anything read from the backing file whilst
invalidation is in progress.
Question: CacheFiles uses truncation in a couple of places. It has been using
notify_change() rather than sys_truncate() or something similar. This means
it bypasses a bunch of checks and suchlike that it possibly should be making
(security, file locking, lease breaking, vfsmount write). Should it be using
vfs_truncate() as added by a preceding patch or should it use notify_write()
and assume that anyone poking around in the cache files on disk gets
everything they deserve?
