[PATCH] FUSE - mount options

This patch adds miscellaneous mount options to the FUSE filesystem.

The following mount options are added:

 o default_permissions:  check permissions with generic_permission()
 o allow_other:          allow other users to access files
 o allow_root:           allow root to access files
 o kernel_cache:         don't invalidate page cache on open

+ * Unfortunately request interruption not just solves the deadlock
+ * problem, it causes problems too.  These stem from the fact, that an
+ * interrupted request is continued to be processed in userspace,
+ * while all the locks and object references (inode and file) held
+ * during the operation are released.
+ *
+ * To release the locks is exactly why there's a need to interrupt the
+ * request, so there's not a lot that can be done about this, except
+ * introduce additional locking in userspace.
+ *
+ * More important is to keep inode and file references until userspace
+ * has replied, otherwise FORGET and RELEASE could be sent while the
+ * inode/file is still used by the filesystem.
+ *
+ * For this reason the concept of "background" request is introduced.
+ * An interrupted request is backgrounded if it has been already sent
+ * to userspace.  Backgrounding involves getting an extra reference to
+ * inode(s) or file used in the request, and adding the request to
+ * fc->background list.  When a reply is received for a background
+ * request, the object references are released, and the request is
+ * removed from the list.  If the filesystem is unmounted while there
+ * are still background requests, the list is walked and references
+ * are released as if a reply was received.
+ *
+ * There's one more use for a background request.  The RELEASE message is
+ * always sent as background, since it doesn't return an error or
+ * data.
