The next step in divorcing metadata I/O management from struct inode is
to pass struct ocfs2_caching_info to the journal functions. Thus the
journal locks a metadata cache with the cache io_lock function. It also
can compare ci_last_trans and ci_created_trans directly.
This is a large patch because of all the places we change
ocfs2_journal_access..(handle, inode, ...) to
ocfs2_journal_access..(handle, INODE_CACHE(inode), ...).

We have the read side of metadata caching isolated to struct
ocfs2_caching_info, now we need the write side. This means the journal
functions. The journal only does a couple of things with struct inode.
This change moves the ip_last_trans field onto struct
ocfs2_caching_info as ci_last_trans. This field tells the journal
whether a pending journal flush is required.

We are really passing the inode into the ocfs2_read/write_blocks()
functions to get at the metadata cache. This commit passes the cache
directly into the metadata block functions, divorcing them from the
inode.

We don't really want to cart around too many new fields on the
ocfs2_caching_info structure. So let's wrap all our access of the
parent object in a set of operations. One pointer on caching_info, and
more flexibility to boot.

We want to use the ocfs2_caching_info structure in places that are not
inodes. To do that, it can no longer rely on referencing the inode
directly.
This patch moves the flags to ocfs2_caching_info->ci_flags, stores
pointers to the parent's locks on the ocfs2_caching_info, and renames
the constants and flags to reflect its independant state.

The old uptodate only handles the issue of removing one buffer_head from
ocfs2 inode's buffer cache. With xattr clusters, we may need to remove
multiple buffer_head's at a time.

Uptodate.c now knows about read-ahead buffers. Use some more aggressive
logic in ocfs2_readdir().
The two functions which currently use directory read-ahead are
ocfs2_find_entry() and ocfs2_readdir().
