Oh, I didn't realise the FUSE core wasn't built in. That makes me
even less enthusiastic about this....

Ok, if this is going to happen, you need to pull in the change I
made to get rid of invalidate_inodes() because it is now a duplicate of
evict_inodes(). evict_inodes() is already EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(), so
then this patch goes away.

-Dave.
