[PATCH] cleancache: use __read_mostly for cleancache_enabled

[Cesar Eduardo Barros <cesarb@cesarb.net>]

The global variable cleancache_enabled is read often but written to
rarely. Use __read_mostly to prevent it being on the same cacheline as
another variable which is written to often, which would cause cacheline
bouncing.
