[patch 02/12] fuse: fix race between getattr and write

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>

Getattr and lookup operations can be running in parallel to attribute
changing operations, such as write and setattr.

This means, that if for example getattr was slower than a write, the
cached size attribute could be set to a stale value.

To prevent this race, introduce a per-filesystem attribute version
counter. This counter is incremented whenever cached attributes are
modified, and the incremented value stored in the inode.

Before storing new attributes in the cache, getattr and lookup check,
using the version number, whether the attributes have been modified
during the request's lifetime. If so, the returned attributes are not
cached, because they might be stale.

Thanks to Jakub Bogusz for the bug report and test program.
