[PATCH] fuse: add support for explicit export disabling

[Jingbo Xu <jefflexu@linux.alibaba.com>]

open_by_handle_at(2) can fail with -ESTALE with a valid handle returned
by a previous name_to_handle_at(2) for evicted fuse inodes, which is
especially common when entry_valid_timeout is 0, e.g. when the fuse
daemon is in "cache=none" mode.

The time sequence is like:

	name_to_handle_at(2)	# succeed
	evict fuse inode
	open_by_handle_at(2)	# fail

The root cause is that, with 0 entry_valid_timeout, the dput() called in
name_to_handle_at(2) will trigger iput -> evict(), which will send
FUSE_FORGET to the daemon.  The following open_by_handle_at(2) will send
a new FUSE_LOOKUP request upon inode cache miss since the previous inode
eviction.  Then the fuse daemon may fail the FUSE_LOOKUP request with
-ENOENT as the cached metadata of the requested inode has already been
cleaned up during the previous FUSE_FORGET.  The returned -ENOENT is
treated as -ESTALE when open_by_handle_at(2) returns.

This confuses the application somehow, as open_by_handle_at(2) fails
when the previous name_to_handle_at(2) succeeds.  The returned errno is
also confusing as the requested file is not deleted and already there.
It is reasonable to fail name_to_handle_at(2) early in this case, after
which the application can fallback to open(2) to access files.

Since this issue typically appears when entry_valid_timeout is 0 which
is configured by the fuse daemon, the fuse daemon is the right person to
explicitly disable the export when required.

Also considering FUSE_EXPORT_SUPPORT actually indicates the support for
lookups of "." and "..", and there are existing fuse daemons supporting
export without FUSE_EXPORT_SUPPORT set, for compatibility, we add a new
INIT flag for such purpose.
