[Devel] [PATCH vz7] fuse: fuse_writepage_locked must check for FUSE_INVALIDATE_FILES

The patch fixes another race dealing with fuse_invalidate_files,
this time when it races with truncate(2):

Thread A: the flusher performs writeback as usual:

  fuse_writepages -->
    fuse_send_writepages -->
      end_page_writeback

but before fuse_send_writepages acquires fc->lock and calls fuse_flush_writepages,
some innocent user process re-dirty-es the page.

Thread B: truncate(2) attempts to truncate (shrink) file as usual:

  fuse_do_setattr -->
    invalidate_inode_pages2

(This is possible because Thread A has not incremented fi->writectr yet.) But
invalidate_inode_pages2 finds that re-dirty-ed page and sticks in:

  invalidate_inode_pages2 -->
    fuse_launder_page -->
      fuse_writepage_locked -->
        fuse_wait_on_page_writeback

Thread A: the flusher proceeds with fuse_flush_writepages, sends write request
to userspace fuse daemon, but the daemon is not obliged to fulfill it immediately.
So, thread B waits now for thread A, while thread A waits for userspace.

Now fuse_invalidate_files steps in sticking in filemap_write_and_wait on the
page locked by Thread B (launder_page always work on a locked page). Deadlock.

The patch fixes deadlock by waking up fuse_writepage_locked after marking
files with FAIL_IMMEDIATELY flag.
