Add an inode_info_offs field to struct fsverity_operations, and update
fs/verity/ to support it. When set to a nonzero value, it specifies the
offset to the fsverity_info pointer within the filesystem-specific part
of the inode structure, to be used instead of inode::i_verity_info.
Since this makes inode::i_verity_info no longer necessarily used, update
comments that mentioned it.
This is a prerequisite for a later commit that removes
inode::i_verity_info, saving memory and improving cache efficiency on
filesystems that don't support fsverity.
