A deadlock was possible, when the last reference to the superblock was
held due to a background request containing a file reference.
Releasing the file would release the vfsmount which in turn would
release the superblock. Since sbput_sem is held during the fput() and
fuse_put_super() tries to acquire this same semaphore, a deadlock
results.
The chosen soltuion is to get rid of sbput_sem, and instead use the
spinlock to ensure the referenced inodes/file are released only once.
Since the actual release may sleep, defer these outside the locked
region, but using local variables instead of the structure members.
This is a much more rubust solution.

The previous patch removed limiting the number of outstanding requests. This
patch adds a much simpler limiting, that is also compatible with file locking
operations.
A task may have at most one synchronous request allocated. So these requests
need not be otherwise limited.
However the number of background requests (release, forget, asynchronous
reads, interrupted requests) can grow indefinitely. This can be used by a
malicous user to cause FUSE to allocate arbitrary amounts of unswappable
kernel memory, denying service.
For this reason add a limit for the number of background requests, and block
allocations of new requests until the number goes bellow the limit.
Also use this mechanism to block all requests until the INIT reply is
received.

FUSE allocated most requests from a fixed size pool filled at mount time.
However in some cases (release/forget) non-pool requests were used. File
locking operations aren't well served by the request pool, since they may
block indefinetly thus exhausting the pool.
This patch removes the request pool and always allocates requests on demand.

This is in preparation for removing the global spinlock in favor of a
per-mount one.
The only critical part is the interaction between fuse_dev_release() and
fuse_fill_super(): fuse_dev_release() must see the assignment to
file->private_data, otherwise it will leak the reference to fuse_conn.
This is ensured by the fput() operation, which will synchronize the assignment
with other CPU's that may do a final fput() soon after this.
Also redundant locking is removed from fuse_fill_super(), where exclusion is
already ensured by the BKL held for this function by the VFS.

This adds asynchronous notification to FUSE - a FUSE server can request
O_ASYNC on a /dev/fuse file descriptor and receive SIGIO when there is input
available.
One subtlety - fuse_dev_fasync, which is called when O_ASYNC is requested,
does no locking, unlink the other methods. I think it's unnecessary, as the
fuse_conn.fasync list is manipulated only by fasync_helper and kill_fasync,
which provide their own locking. It would also be wrong to use the fuse_lock,
as it's a spin lock and fasync_helper can sleep. My one concern with this is
the fuse_conn going away underneath fuse_dev_fasync - sys_fcntl takes a
reference on the file struct, so this seems not to be a problem.

Add ability to abort a filesystem connection.
With the introduction of asynchronous reads, the ability to interrupt any
request is not enough to dissolve deadlocks, since now waiting for the request
completion (page unlocked) is independent of the actual request, so in a
deadlock all threads will be uninterruptible.
The solution is to make it possible to abort all requests, even those
currently undergoing I/O to/from userspace. The natural interface for this is
'mount -f mountpoint', but that only works as long as the filesystem is
attached. So also add an 'abort' attribute to the sysfs view of the
connection.

The symbolic link length is already checked by VFS to be less than PATH_MAX,
so the extra check against FUSE_SYMLINK_MAX is not needed.

This patch removes ability to interrupt and restart operations while there
hasn't been any side-effect.
The reason: applications. There are some apps it seems that generate
signals at a fast rate. This means, that if the operation cannot make
enough progress between two signals, it will be restarted for ever. This
bug actually manifested itself with 'krusader' trying to open a file for
writing under sshfs. Thanks to Eduard Czimbalmos for the report.
The problem can be solved just by making open() uninterruptible, because in
this case it was the truncate operation that slowed down the progress. But
it's better to solve this by simply not allowing interrupts at all (except
SIGKILL), because applications don't expect file operations to be
interruptible anyway. As an added bonus the code is simplified somewhat.

This patch removes a long lasting "hack" in FUSE, which used a separate
channel (a file descriptor refering to a disk-file) to transfer directory
contents from userspace to the kernel.
The patch adds three new operations (OPENDIR, READDIR, RELEASEDIR), which
have semantics and implementation exactly maching the respective file
operations (OPEN, READ, RELEASE).
This simplifies the directory reading code. Also disk space is not
necessary, which can be important in embedded systems.
