Subject: [PATCH] fuse: make delete_stale configurable

From: Yifei Zhang <zyfjeff@...ux.alibaba.com>

Fuse tends to cache dentries in LRU list for performance, which makes
the fuse server always keep a reference to the opened fd.  If the file
is deleted by a third party process (neither fuse server nor fuse
client), the fuse server will always keep a reference to the deleted
file, in which case the deleted file cannot be released.

Fix this by making the delete_stale feature configurable.  Fuse servers
can enable this if a file may be unlinked not through fuse server nor
client.  Actually virtiofs enables this by default.  Make this
configurable for other fuse filesystems.
