A useful performance improvement for accessing virtual machine images
via FUSE mount.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1220173 for a use-case
for glusterFS.

Allow an open fuse device to be "cloned". Userspace can create a clone by:
newfd = open("/dev/fuse", O_RDWR)
ioctl(newfd, FUSE_DEV_IOC_CLONE, &oldfd);
At this point newfd will refer to the same fuse connection as oldfd.

Here some additional changes to set a capability flag so that clients can
detect when it's appropriate to return -ENOSYS from open.
This amends the following commit introduced in 3.14:
7678ac5061 fuse: support clients that don't implement 'open'
However we can only add the flag to 3.15 and later since there was no
protocol version update in 3.14.

The patch extends fuse_setattr_in, and extends the flush procedure
(fuse_flush_times()) called on ->write_inode() to send the ctime as well as
mtime.

Allow userspace fs to specify time granularity.
This is needed because with writeback_cache mode the kernel is responsible
for generating mtime and ctime, but if the underlying filesystem doesn't
support nanosecond granularity then the cache will contain a different
value from the one stored on the filesystem resulting in a change of times
after a cache flush.
Make the default granularity 1s.

Introduce a bit kernel and userspace exchange between each-other on
the init stage and turn writeback on if the userspace want this and
mount option 'allow_wbcache' is present (controlled by fusermount).
Also add each writable file into per-inode write list and call the
generic_file_aio_write to make use of the Linux page cache engine.

Without async DIO write requests to a single file were always serialized.
With async DIO that's no longer the case.
So don't turn on async DIO by default for fear of breaking backward
compatibility.

Commit 7e98d53086 (Synchronize fuse header with
one used in library) added #ifdef __linux__ around defines if it is not set.
The kernel build is self-contained and can be built on non-Linux toolchains.
After the mentioned commit builds on non-Linux toolchains will try to include
stdint.h and fail due to -nostdinc, and then fail with a bunch of undefined type
errors.
Fix by checking for __KERNEL__ instead of __linux__ and using the standard int
types instead of the linux specific ones.

For some filesystems (e.g. GlusterFS), the cost of performing a
normal readdir and readdirplus are identical. Since adaptively
using readdirplus has no benefit for those systems, give
users/filesystems the option to control adaptive readdirplus use.
v2 of this patch incorporates Miklos's suggestion to simplify the code,
as well as improving consistency of macro names and documentation.

The library one has provisions for use in *BSD, add them to the kernel one too.
They don't hurt and ease maintenance.

commit 626cf23660 "poll: add poll_requested_events()..." enabled us to send the
requested events to the filesystem.

Yeah, we have a capability flag for this as well, so this is not strictly
necessary, but it doesn't hurt either.

This patch implements readdirplus support in FUSE, similar to NFS.
The payload returned in the readdirplus call contains
'fuse_entry_out' structure thereby providing all the necessary inputs
for 'faking' a lookup() operation on the spot.
If the dentry and inode already existed (for e.g. in a re-run of ls -l)
then just the inode attributes timeout and dentry timeout are refreshed.
With a simple client->network->server implementation of a FUSE based
filesystem, the following performance observations were made:
Test: Performing a filesystem crawl over 20,000 files with
sh# time ls -lR /mnt
Without readdirplus:
Run 1: 18.1s
Run 2: 16.0s
Run 3: 16.2s
With readdirplus:
Run 1: 4.1s
Run 2: 3.8s
Run 3: 3.8s
The performance improvement is significant as it avoided 20,000 upcalls
calls (lookup). Cache consistency is no worse than what already is.
