Allow requesting from kernel to avoid flush on close at file open
time. If kernel does not support FOPEN_NOFLUSH flag, the request
will be ignored.
For passthrough_hp example, request to avoid flush on close when
writeback cache is disabled and file is opened O_RDONLY.

Before last unlink() release the reference on inode.fd to allow reuse
of underlying fs inode number, mark the server inode "deleted" and bump
it's generation counter.
When same inode number is found on lookup(), the server inode object will
be reused as well.
Skip this when inode has an open file and when writeback cache is enabled.
This will be used to verify inode reuse bug fix in the kernel.

* passthrough_ll/hp: remove symlink fallbacks
Path lookup in the kernel has special rules for looking up magic symlinks
under /proc. If a filesystem operation is instructed to follow symlinks
(e.g. via AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW or lack of AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW), and the final
component is such a proc symlink, then the target of the magic symlink is
used for the operation, even if the target itself is a symlink. I.e. path
lookup is always terminated after following a final magic symlink.
I was erronously assuming that in the above case the target symlink would
also be followed, and so workarounds were added for a couple of operations
to handle the symlink case. Since the symlink can be handled simply by
following the proc symlink, these workardouds are not needed.

IN a bunch of comments we say 'under the terms of the GNU GPL', make
it clear this is GPLv2 (as LICENSE says).

passthrough_hp puts emphasis and performance and correctness, rather
than simplicity.
