[RFC PATCH] fuse: add new function to invalidate cache for all inodes

[Luis Henriques]

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 a new option that allows userspace to invalidate all the
inodes with a single notification operation.  In addition to invalidate all
the inodes, it also shrinks the superblock dcache.

Just an additional note that this patch could eventually be simplified if
Dave Chinner patch to iterate through the superblock inodes[1] is merged.
