DAX effective mode changes (setting of S_DAX) require inode eviction.

Define a flag which can be set to inform the VFS layer that inodes
should not be cached.  This will expedite the eviction of those nodes
requiring reload.

There's a typo in the subject - I_DONTCACNE.

Maybe, I'd be more specific here and write: "Evict inode as soon as it is
not used anymore"?

Otherwise the patch looks good to me so feel free to add:

Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

Also it would be good to CC Al Viro on this one (and the dentry flag) I
guess.
