[Virtio-fs] [PATCH 7/8] virtiofs: Add new notification type FUSE_NOTIFY_LOCK

Add a new notification type FUSE_NOTIFY_LOCK. This notification can be
sent by file server to signifiy that a previous locking request has
completed and actual caller should be woken up.

As of now we don't support blocking variant of posix locks and daemon
returns -EOPNOTSUPP. Reason being that it can lead to deadlocks.
Virtqueue size is limited and it is possible we fill virtqueue with
all the requests of fcntl(F_SETLKW) and wait for reply. And later a
subsequent unlock request can't make progress because virtqueue is full.
And that means F_SETLKW can't make progress and we are deadlocked.

This problem is not limited to posix locks only. I think blocking remote
flock and open file description locks should face the same issue. Right
now fuse does not support open file description locks, so its not
a problem. But fuse/virtiofs does support remote flock and they can use
same mechanism too.

Use notification queue to solve this problem. After submitting lock
request device will send a reply asking requester to wait. Once lock is
available, requester will get a notification saying lock is available.
That way we don't keep the request virtueue busy while we are waiting for
lock and further unlock requests can make progress.

When we get a reply in response to lock request, we need a way to know
if we need to wait for notification or not. I have overloaded the
fuse_out_header->error field. If value is ->error is 1, that's a signal
to caller to wait for lock notification. Overloading ->error in this way
is not the best way to do it. But I am running out of ideas.
