Make fscache_write_to_cache() conditional on cookie not being NULL, rather than merely conditional on CONFIG_FSCACHE=[ym]. The problem with the latter is if a filesystem, say afs, has CONFIG_AFS_FSCACHE=n but calls into this function - linkage will fail if CONFIG_FSCACHE is less than CONFIG_AFS. Analogous problems can affect other filesystems, e.g. 9p. Making fscache_write_to_cache() conditional on the cookie achieves two things: (1) If cookie optimises down to constant NULL, term_func is called directly and may be inlined and the slow path is never called. (2) __fscache_write_to_cache() isn't called if cookie is dynamically NULL - and so, in such a case, term_func is called immediately.
