fuse: allow synchronous FUSE_INIT



FUSE_INIT has always been asynchronous with mount.  That means that the
server processed this request after the mount syscall returned.

This means that FUSE_INIT can't supply the root inode's ID, hence it
currently has a hardcoded value.  There are other limitations such as not
being able to perform getxattr during mount, which is needed by selinux.

To remove these limitations allow server to process FUSE_INIT while
initializing the in-core super block for the fuse filesystem.  This can
only be done if the server is prepared to handle this, so add
FUSE_DEV_IOC_SYNC_INIT ioctl, which

 a) lets the server know whether this feature is supported, returning
 ENOTTY othewrwise.

 b) lets the kernel know to perform a synchronous initialization

The implementation is slightly tricky, since fuse_dev/fuse_conn are set up
only during super block creation.  This is solved by setting the private
data of the fuse device file to a special value ((struct fuse_dev *) 1) and
waiting for this to be turned into a proper fuse_dev before commecing with
operations on the device file.
