Provide a flag whereby a filesystem may request that cifs_perform_write() perform write-through caching. This involves putting pages directly into writeback rather than dirty and attaching them to a write operation as we go. Further, the writes being made are limited to the byte range being written rather than whole folios being written. This can be used by cifs, for example, to deal with strict byte-range locking. This can't be used with content encryption as that may require expansion of the write RPC beyond the write being made. This doesn't affect writes via mmap - those are written back in the normal way; similarly failed writethrough writes are marked dirty and left to writeback to retry. Another option would be to simply invalidate them, but the contents can be simultaneously accessed by read() and through mmap.
