    fuse: fuse_send_writepage() must check FUSE_S_FAIL_IMMEDIATELY
    
    The patch fixes the following race (leading to deadlock):
    
    1. Thread A. Enter fuse_prepare_write() checks for FUSE_S_FAIL_IMMEDIATELY,
    but it was not set yet, so it doesn't return -EIO.
    
    2. Thread B. Enter fuse_invalidate_files(). It sets FUSE_S_FAIL_IMMEDIATELY,
    calls filemap_write_and_wait() and fuse_kill_requests(), then release
    fc->lock.
    
    3. Thread A. fuse_commit_write() marks page as "Dirty", then
    fuse_write_end() unlocks the page.
    
    4. Thread B. fuse_invalidate_files() calls invalidate_inode_pages2(). The
    page is dirty, so it ends up in fuse_launder_page() calling
    fuse_writepage_locked(). The latter successfully proceeds queuing
    fuse-write-back request, but then fuse_launder_page() calls
    fuse_wait_on_page_writeback() that blocks forever because Thread A is still
    blocked in fuse_invalidate_files().
