[Virtio-fs] [PATCH RFC] fuse: invalidate inode attr in writeback cache mode

[Eryu Guan]

Under writeback mode, inode->i_blocks is not updated, making utils like
du read st.blocks as 0.

For example, when using virtiofs (cache=always & nondax mode) with
writeback_cache enabled, writing a new file and check its disk usage
with du, du reports 0 usage.

  # uname -r
  5.6.0-rc6+
  # mount -t virtiofs virtiofs /mnt/virtiofs
  # rm -f /mnt/virtiofs/testfile

  # create new file and do extend write
  # xfs_io -fc "pwrite 0 4k" /mnt/virtiofs/testfile
  wrote 4096/4096 bytes at offset 0
  4 KiB, 1 ops; 0.0001 sec (28.103 MiB/sec and 7194.2446 ops/sec)
  # stat -c %s,%b /mnt/virtiofs/testfile
  4096,0	  <==== i_size is correct, but block usage is 0

Fix it by invalidating attr in fuse_write_end(), like other write paths.
