FS-Cache: Recruit a page flags for cache management

Browse Source 
Recruit a page flag to aid in cache management.  The following extra flag is
defined:

 (1) PG_fscache (PG_private_2)

     The marked page is backed by a local cache and is pinning resources in the
     cache driver.

If PG_fscache is set, then things that checked for PG_private will now also
check for that.  This includes things like truncation and page invalidation.
The function page_has_private() had been added to make the checks for both
PG_private and PG_private_2 at the same time.
