Subject: [PATCH 01/26] cifs: Fix duplicate fscache cookie warnings

fscache emits a lot of duplicate cookie warnings with cifs because the
index key for the fscache cookies does not include everything that the
cifs_find_inode() function does. The latter is used with iget5_locked() to
distinguish between inodes in the local inode cache.

Fix this by adding the creation time and file type to the fscache cookie
key.

Additionally, add a couple of comments to note that if one is changed the
other must be also.

The problem is that it's not unique over time. creat(); unlink(); creat();
may yield a repeat of the uniqueid. It's like i_ino in that respect.

It's already upstream through the cifs tree and I've dropped it from my
branch.
