[Devel] [PATCH] fuse: enable close_wait feature (v2)

The patch enables feature by passing 'true' to fuse_file_put in
fuse_release_common.

Previously, this was safe only in special cases when we sure that
multi-threaded userspace won't deadlock if we'll synchronously send
FUSE_RELEASE in the context of read-ahead or write-back callback. Now, it's
always safe because callbacks don't send requests to userspace anymore.

Changed in v2: update the patch to be applied cleanly on the top of
previous modified (v2) patch of the patch-set.
