[Devel] [PATCH vz7] fuse: revert Dcache is always invalid

[Maxim Patlasov]

The patch reverts 4ae1fa01a5d865c3a96e0753be26b1d874f25827 initially
sent by Pavel Emelyanov three years ago with description:

> The existing behavior -- a dentry is valid for some time period. Then
> revalidation in the userpsace is required. This is wrong for PCS, since
> dentry effectively becomes invalid once a file is closed, i.e. -- always.

This justification above does not look reasonable anymore because, as AK
pointed out:

> What's about correctness of the statement, it is even formally wrong.
> No matter how frequently you invalidate, the file can disappear right
> after lookup, so that full disable of dcache is meaningless.

The policy must be set by fused. Currently it always gives entry_valid=0
ensuring that behavior stays the same with or without 4ae1..5827. But the
policy is going to change in near future to support usecases of directories
with > 100000 entries. Hence reverting 4ae1..5827 is required: otherwise fused
won't be able to utilize readdirplus.
