cifs: Cut over to using netfslib

Browse source 
Make the cifs filesystem use netfslib to handle reading and writing on
behalf of cifs.  The changes include:

 (1) Various read_iter/write_iter type functions are turned into wrappers
     around netfslib API functions or are pointed directly at those
     functions:

	cifs_file_direct{,_nobrl}_ops switch to use
	netfs_unbuffered_read_iter and netfs_unbuffered_write_iter.

Large pieces of code that will be removed are #if'd out and will be removed
in subsequent patches.

[?] Why does cifs mark the page dirty in the destination buffer of a DIO
    read?  Should that happen automatically?  Does netfs need to do that?
