[PATCH 0/7] fuse: file locking + misc

The following patches add POSIX file locking to the fuse interface.

Additional changes ralated to this are:

  - asynchronous interrupt of requests by SIGKILL no longer supported

  - separate control filesystem, instead of using sysfs objects

  - add support for synchronously interrupting requests

Details are documented in Documentation/filesystems/fuse.txt
throughout the patches.

Note: this series depends on

  vfs-add-lock-owner-argument-to-flush-operation.patch

to compile and to some extent on

  remove-steal_locks.patch

to work correctly.
