Mateusz Guzik ea38219907 vfs: support caching symlink lengths in inodes ...

When utilized it dodges strlen() in vfs_readlink(), giving about 1.5%
speed up when issuing readlink on /initrd.img on ext4.

Filesystems opt in by calling inode_set_cached_link() when creating an
inode.

The size is stored in a new union utilizing the same space as i_devices,
thus avoiding growing the struct or taking up any more space.

Churn-wise the current readlink_copy() helper is patched to accept the
size instead of calculating it.
