A network filesystem may set coherency data on a volume cookie, and if
given, cachefiles will store this in an xattr on the directory in the cache
corresponding to the volume.
The function that sets the xattr just stores the contents of the volume
coherency buffer directly into the xattr, with nothing added; the checking
function, on the other hand, has a cut'n'paste error whereby it tries to
interpret the xattr contents as would be the xattr on an ordinary file
(using the cachefiles_xattr struct). This results in a failure to match
the coherency data because the buffer ends up being shifted by 18 bytes.
Fix this by defining a structure specifically for the volume xattr and
making both the setting and checking functions use it.
Since the volume coherency doesn't work if used, take the opportunity to
insert a reserved field for future use, set it to 0 and check that it is 0.
Log mismatch through the appropriate tracepoint.
Note that this only affects cifs; 9p, afs, ceph and nfs don't use the
volume coherency data at the moment.
