[PATCH v5 2/2] 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.
