[RFC PATCH v2] 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 sb dcache.

Hi!

As suggested by Bernd, this patch v2 simply adds an helper function that
will make it easier to replace most of it's code by a call to function
super_iter_inodes() when Dave Chinner's patch[1] eventually gets merged.
