Subject: [PATCH 5/5] fuse: enable close_wait synchronous release

The patch enables the feature by passing 'true' to fuse_file_put in
fuse_release_common.

Previously, this was safe only in special cases when we sure that
multi-threaded userspace won't deadlock if we'll synchronously send
FUSE_RELEASE in the context of read-ahead or write-back callback. Now, it's
always safe because callbacks don't send requests to userspace anymore.

The feature can be made privileged by means of DISABLE_SYNC_RELEASE mount
option implemented by the previous patch.
