fuse: add more control over cache invalidation behaviour

Currently userspace is able to notify the kernel to invalidate the cache
for an inode.  This means that, if all the inodes in a filesystem need to
be invalidated, then userspace needs to iterate through all of them and do
this kernel notification separately.

This patch adds the concept of 'epoch': each fuse connection will have the
current epoch initialized and every new dentry will have it's d_time set to
the current epoch value.  A new operation will then allow userspace to
increment the epoch value.  Every time a dentry is d_revalidate()'ed, it's
epoch is compared with the current connection epoch and invalidated if it's
value is different.
