Luis Henriques 2396356a94 fuse: add more control over cache invalidation behaviour ...

Currently userspace is able to notify the kernel to invalidate the cache
for an inode.  This means that, if all the inodes in a filesystem need to
be invalidated, then userspace needs to iterate through all of them and do
this kernel notification separately.

This patch adds the concept of 'epoch': each fuse connection will have the
current epoch initialized and every new dentry will have it's d_time set to
the current epoch value.  A new operation will then allow userspace to
increment the epoch value.  Every time a dentry is d_revalidate()'ed, it's
epoch is compared with the current connection epoch and invalidated if it's
value is different.
