Implement the entry points by which a cache backend may initialise, add,
declare an error upon and withdraw a cache.
Further, an object is created in sysfs under which each cache added will get
an object created:
/sys/fs/fscache/<cachetag>/
All of this is described in Documentation/filesystems/caching/backend-api.txt
added by a previous patch.

Implement two features of FS-Cache:
(1) The ability to request and release cache tags - names by which a cache may
be known to a netfs, and thus selected for use.
(2) An internal function by which a cache is selected by consulting the netfs,
if the netfs wishes to be consulted.
