David Howells e3d4d28b1c FS-Cache: Handle read request vs lookup, creation or other cache failure
FS-Cache doesn't correctly handle the netfs requesting a read from the cache
on an object that failed or was withdrawn by the cache.  A trace similar to
the following might be seen:

	CacheFiles: Lookup failed error -105

The object state might also be OBJECT_DYING or OBJECT_WITHDRAWING.

This should be handled by simply rejecting the new operation with ENOBUFS.
There's no need to log an error for it.  Events of this type now appear in the
stats file under Ops:rej.
