This patch adds the infrastructure to keep track of all dentries created
for FUSE file systems. A set of rbtrees will be used to keep dentries.
A new module parameter 'inval_wq' is also added. When set, it will start
a work queue which will periodically invalidate expired dentries. The
value of this new parameter is the period, in seconds, for this work
queue. When it is set, every new dentry will be added to one of the
rbtree, sorted by its expiry time.
When the work queue is executed, it will check all the trees where the
dentries are kept and will invalidate those that have timed-out.
The work queue period can not be smaller than 5 seconds, but can be
disabled by setting 'inval_wq' to zero (which is the default).

With the infrastructure introduced to periodically invalidate expired
dentries, it is now possible to add an extra work queue to invalidate
dentries when an epoch is incremented. This work queue will only be
triggered when the 'inval_wq' parameter is set.
