fuse: invalidation reverse calls
Add notification messages that allow the filesystem to invalidate VFS
caches.
Two notifications are added:
1) inode invalidation
- invalidate cached attributes
- invalidate a range of pages in the page cache (this is optional)
2) dentry invalidation
- try to invalidate a subtree in the dentry cache
Care must be taken while accessing the 'struct super_block' for the
mount, as it can go away while an invalidation is in progress. To
prevent this, introduce a rw-semaphore, that is taken for read during
the invalidation and taken for write in the ->kill_sb callback.
