[PATCHSET] FUSE: implement direct mmap, take#2

Hello, Miklos, Nick, Andrew.

This is the second take of fuse-implement-direct-mmap patchset. This
patchset implements direct mmap support for FUSE (and CUSE). Each
direct mmap area is backed by anonymous mapping (shmem_file) and the
FUSE server can decide how they are shared.

mmap request is handled in two steps. MMAP first queries the server
whether it wants to share the mapping with an existing one or create a
new one, and if so, with which flags. MMAP_COMMIT notifies the server
the result of mmap and if successful the fd the server can use to
access the mmap region.

Changes from the last take[L] are

* 0003-FUSE-don-t-let-fuse_req-end-put-the-base-referen.patch was
merged and thus dropped from this series.

* Updated to the current master + implement-cuse, take#3.

This patchset contains the following patches.

0001-mmap-don-t-assume-f_op-mmap-doesn-t-change-vma.patch
0002-fdtable-export-alloc_fd.patch
0003-FUSE-make-request_wait_answer-wait-for-end-co.patch
0004-FUSE-implement-fuse_req-prep.patch
0005-FUSE-implement-direct-mmap.patch

0001-0002 update mm and fdtable for following FUSE changes. 0003-0004
update fuse_req->end() handling and add ->prep(). 0005 implements
direct mmap.

Nick, Andrew, can you guys please review and ack 0001-0002?

This patchset is on top of
