netfs: Pass more information on how to deal with a hole in the cache
Pass more information to the cache on how to deal with a hole if it encounters one when trying to read from the cache. Three options are provided: (1) NETFS_READ_HOLE_IGNORE. Read the hole along with the data, assuming it to be a punched-out extent by the backing filesystem. (2) NETFS_READ_HOLE_CLEAR. If there's a hole, erase the requested region of the cache and clear the read buffer. (3) NETFS_READ_HOLE_FAIL. Fail the read if a hole is detected.
