Subject: [PATCH] [163/275] fuse: fix hang of single threaded fuseblk filesystem

2.6.35-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------
From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@...e.cz>

commit 5a18ec176c934ca1bc9dc61580a5e0e90a9b5733 upstream.

Single threaded NTFS-3G could get stuck if a delayed RELEASE reply
triggered a DESTROY request via path_put().

Fix this by

 a) making RELEASE requests synchronous, whenever possible, on fuseblk
 filesystems

 b) if not possible (triggered by an asynchronous read/write) then do
 the path_put() in a separate thread with schedule_work().
