Presumably people with currently-working setups will find that whatever
they used to have in /sys/fs/fuse/connections won't be there any more, so
this is a non-back-compatible change.  How do we help them with that?

What happens if the first read isn't at file offset 0?

What locking protects fc->ctl_ndents?

Is iop ever null?

Can this happen?

What locking protects i_nlink?

Ditto.
