CacheFiles: Fix the marking of cached pages 

Under some circumstances CacheFiles defers the marking of pages with PG_fscache
so that it can take advantage of pagevecs to reduce the number of calls to
fscache_mark_pages_cached() and the netfs's hook to keep track of this.

There are, however, two problems with this:

 (1) It can lead to the PG_fscache mark being applied _after_ the page is set
     PG_uptodate and unlocked (by the call to fscache_end_io()).

 (2) CacheFiles's ref on the page is dropped immediately following
     fscache_end_io() - and so may not still be held when the mark is applied.
     This can lead to the page being passed back to the allocator before the
     mark is applied.

Fix this by, where appropriate, marking the page before calling
fscache_end_io() and releasing the page.  This means that we can't take
advantage of pagevecs and have to make a separate call for each page to the
marking routines.

The symptoms of this are Bad Page state errors cropping up under memory
pressure, for example:

BUG: Bad page state in process tar  pfn:002da
page:ffffea0000009fb0 count:0 mapcount:0 mapping:          (null) index:0x1447

As can be seen, PG_private_2 (== PG_fscache) is set in the page flags.

Instrumenting fscache_mark_pages_cached() to verify whether page->mapping was
set appropriately showed that sometimes it wasn't.  This led to the discovery
that sometimes the page has apparently been reclaimed by the time the marker
got to see it.
