This doesn't work. if a file is opened by multiple clients, the MDS
doesn't issue Fcb caps to the client.
If we add cap check to filemap_fault and page_mkwrite, they can block
forever. To make mmap IO work
properly, I think the only solution is introducing a new cache
coherence protocol for mmap IO
