cachefiles: unbind cachefiles gracefully in on-demand mode
Add a refcount to avoid the deadlock in on-demand read mode. The on-demand read mode will pin the corresponding cachefiles object for each anonymous fd. The cachefiles object is unpinned when the anonymous fd gets closed. When the user daemon exits and the fd of "/dev/cachefiles" device node gets closed, it will wait for all cahcefiles objects getting withdrawn. Then if there's any anonymous fd getting closed after the fd of the device node, the user daemon will hang forever, waiting for all objects getting withdrawn. To fix this, add a refcount indicating if there's any object pinned by anonymous fds. The cachefiles cache gets unbound and withdrawn when the refcount is decreased to 0. It won't change the behaviour of the original mode, in which case the cachefiles cache gets unbound and withdrawn as long as the fd of the device node gets closed.
