[Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1 1/3] fs/fuse: give num_openers and i_size_unstable each a single role

Currently fi->num_openers serves two purposes: it helps decide whether
the i_size attribute needs to be taken from the server, and it manages
when kio's file_open/file_close methods need to be called. The former
role already requires the extra i_size_unstable flag to handle lease
revokes, which makes num_openers redundant for that purpose.

Give each field a single role: use i_size_unstable as the "take the
attributes from the server" flag, and make num_openers a pure open
count managing the calls of kio's file_open/file_close. A new inode
starts with the i_size_unstable flag set, an open finding it set
refreshes the attributes and clears it on success, and the last
release sets it back after writeback has drained.

Also fix a bug where a failed refresh could re-trust stale local
attributes.
