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.
