No need to print an error to the logs, this can be a perfectly normal
occurrence.  However I'd try to find a more unique error value than
EINVAL so that the fuse server can interpret this as "not your fault,
but can't support passthrough on this file".  E.g. EOPNOTSUPP.

Should be okay to use fc->lock, since neither adding nor removing the
passthrough ID should be a heavily used operation, and querying the
mapping is lockless.
