fscache: Fix oops due to race with cookie_lru and use_cookie
If a cookie expires from the LRU and the LRU_DISCARD flag is set, but
the state machine has not run yet, it's possible another thread can call
fscache_use_cookie and begin to use it.
When the cookie_worker finally runs, it will see the LRU_DISCARD flag
set, transition the cookie->state to LRU_DISCARDING, which will then
withdraw the cookie. Once the cookie is withdrawn the object is removed
the below oops will occur because the object associated with the cookie
is now NULL.
Fix the oops by clearing the LRU_DISCARD bit if another thread uses the
cookie before the cookie_worker runs.
