[PATCH] fuse: add O_ASYNC support to FUSE device

This adds asynchronous notification to FUSE - a FUSE server can request
O_ASYNC on a /dev/fuse file descriptor and receive SIGIO when there is input
available.

One subtlety - fuse_dev_fasync, which is called when O_ASYNC is requested,
does no locking, unlink the other methods.  I think it's unnecessary, as the
fuse_conn.fasync list is manipulated only by fasync_helper and kill_fasync,
which provide their own locking.  It would also be wrong to use the fuse_lock,
as it's a spin lock and fasync_helper can sleep.  My one concern with this is
the fuse_conn going away underneath fuse_dev_fasync - sys_fcntl takes a
reference on the file struct, so this seems not to be a problem.
