Subject: [PATCH 3/3] fuse: implement exclusive wakeup for blocked_waitq

The patch solves thundering herd problem. So far as previous patches ensured
that only allocations for background may block, it's safe to wake up one
waiter. Whoever it is, it will wake up another one in request_end() afterwards.
