[RFC 1/1 linux-next] FS: consolidate inode cache initialization

[Fabian Frederick <fabf@xxxxxxxxx>]

Currently, all filesystems directly call kmem_cache_create() through
static init_inodecache() and generally use the same slab
flags with <fsname>_inode_cache.

This patch declares _init_inode_cache() in libfs which uses
file_system_fs name to forge cache name and applies the update on AFFS
as an example.

If the idea is interesting, should I send 1 patch for _init_inode_cache()
addition and 1 patch for each FS update ? 

Regards,
Fabian
