[PATCH v2] fuse: allow FUSE drivers to declare themselves free from outside changes

[Jeff Layton]

Traditionally, we've allowed people to set leases on FUSE inodes.  Some
FUSE drivers are effectively local filesystems and should be fine with
kernel-internal lease support. Others are backed by a network server
that may have multiple clients, or may be backed by something non-file
like entirely. On those, we don't want to allow leases.

Have the filesytem driver to set a fuse_conn flag to indicate whether
the inodes are subject to outside changes, not done via kernel APIs.  If
the flag is unset (the default), then setlease attempts will fail with
-EINVAL, indicating that leases aren't supported on that inode.

Local-ish filesystems may want to start setting this value to true to
preserve the ability to set leases.

This is only tested for compilation, but it's fairly straightforward.

I've left the default the "safe" value of false, so that we assume that
outside changes are possible unless told otherwise.

Changes in v2:
- renamed flag to FUSE_NO_OUTSIDE_CHANGES
- flesh out comment describing the new flag
